Braxton Hicks

I didn't realise I was getting any braxton hicks yet until it happened today at my 38 week midwife appointment. So now I'm noticing them a lot. I just wondered how often everyone else is getting them and how they feel? Mine are just a little tensing over my bump, I thought it was just the baby pushing outwards 😅

Ive been getting them all the time these days. I must have had about 6/7 today. Not painful but an uncomfortable tightness

I didn’t realise I was having them either, but I went in to triage for reduced movement yesterday and they were registering as quite regular. I compared this to last time I went in to be monitored and there wasn’t anything on the contraction line last time really in comparison.

I have them all day - getting tired of them to be honest! Just want baby to get here.

All the time! Nothing regular or painful though xxx

I’ve been getting them since well before 20 weeks. Some days I get loads and other days not many. I’ve been getting them so much today!

I didn't realise I was getting them until I got an irritable uterus after a tummy bug and they got painful, at about 30 weeks. Thankfully that passed within a week, and they're not even uncomfortable now really, but that did make me realise that I'd been having them for ages - similar I just thought it was the baby but the whole bump goes solid.

@Sarah I feel exactly the same. Nervous for labour but I just want to meet them already 🥺
