Braxton Hicks

Has anyone else felt any sort of Braxton Hicks contractions yet? Tonight I felt a really tight tummy and a strange squeezing sensation. It didn’t hurt but felt quite uncomfortable and freaked me out a bit! Google gave me this infographic, which I liked. And I definitely know it’s not real labour, plus I’ve felt my baby kick since then so I feel it’s okay. But for a first time mum, each new thing is weird! Anyone else?

I think I've been having them in the night. I wake up needing the loo and notice my belly is so hard. When I come back to bed and have some water it's gone. Good to read that having a full bladder or being dehydrated can cause it.

@Holly it’s always something new with pregnancy! Every day 🤦🏼‍♀️
