Braxton hicks interfering with sex life

I’ve had this a few times! I mostly get them during sex or if I’m walking a lot, I haven’t really found a solution, just had to go slower, rest for a bit (when walking) or change position! I wasn’t sure what it was at first and kept thinking I was getting stitches but then read up on braxton hicks and realised that’s actually what I’d been feeling😅

Thanks! Those are great ideas - I miss being intimate with my husband because I feel like as soon as we start my stomach clenches up and then mentally I am so distracted and he then feels bad lol

yes!! I was worried I was starting to cone and have abdominal separation, but it is very round 😅

Omg just don't, happens to me almost every time, I'm only ten weeks, after the deed or during I have to stop and am quite literally on all fours feeling like I'm giving birth with pain and contractions. I spoke to midwife this week and she wasn't concerned at all, it happens to many women it's related to blood flow etc etc. annoying but not concerning unless it comes with bleeding she said xx

You could also try using a vibrator during to help keep the muscles relaxed! Laying on your side might be more effective as well.

My mood killer unfortunately isn’t BH, it’s babygirl going crazy in there every time I try 😂

ok super reassuring she wasn’t concerned about it 😅🙌🏽 and oh man, that sounds horrible! Thankfully mine are not that painful, but def alarming the first couple of times until I realized what it was!

good ideas! And LOL, she’s like yeah.. not happening today 😂
