When did you start having Braxton hicks?

I just started getting very very mild ones last week. Idk if it’s true but I did hear Braxton hicks can be good because it helps your body get prepared for birth.

Yea it does. I think mine started because I was lifting things to much and too heavy. 😅 But it's a way for your body to practice before going into actual labor. With my first as I got closer to due date they got a lot worse for me. This is my 2nd pregnancy so I'm not sure if it will be the same. So far everything has been completely diffrent. How far along are you?

I started having mine at 22 weeks. I'm 25 weeks now. They are getting stronger as the weeks go by

What do they feel like?

they feel like light period cramps. I had one and my exact thought was.. I’ll probably have my period soon and then realized wait I’m pregnant haha so then I had to realize they were Braxton hicks. So far mine are extremely light though and I only have them for a short time. No longer than a minute so far.

I’m 27 weeks. I did get that round ligament pain early on though and still get it. Especially if I bend down to much or bend the wrong way.. or even when I sneeze lol. But the Braxton hicks definitely feels different

Mine started early like 17/18 weeks but I’m having twins so they warned me that could happen 😩

I got them at 23 weeks after a turbulent flight. I’ve had them occasionally when I’m stressed out
