Does anyone know when Braxton Hicks start?

I’m 32 weeks tomorrow and I haven’t experienced any cramping or “contractions” yet. I’m just wondering when they usually make their arrival lol

Every pregnancy is different. I'm almost 31 weeks and I feel like mine are starting up.

Consider yourself LUCKY mine started at 17 weeks but I’m having twins so they told me to expect them early 🙃 they’re NOT fun. I’ve had real contraction scares too, these twins just like to stress me out lol

I didn’t feel any with my daughter and have had a couple with my son. Every pregnancy is different, I wouldn’t sweat it if you never had one.

I’m 32w and I’ve had them since around 20 or so? They definitely have been getting more uncomfortable but it’s just feels tight pressure with a super hard belly. I’ve been told that labor contractions are more like period cramping

Mine started like 28wks

My provider says that not everyone has them or has them strong enough to feel and define as Braxton-hicks. She apologized that she couldn’t give me a straight answer. I’m 31 weeks and there are some moments I feel something, but it is not what anyone has described as their experiences for Braxton-hicks

My OB said that first time moms may not feel them as much or at all

Mine started at 31wks but have gotten a lot worse since I've gotten into my 32wks.

I only found out yesterday I’ve been having them as I was unaware, the hospital had me on the monitor to monitor baby’s movements and that’s when they showed previously to this I had no knowledge of them I don’t feel them or anything I’m 34 weeks tomorrow x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
