Do Braxton hicks make you feel like you have to pee super bad?

Huh...idk. Sometimes I get that intense urge to pee, but I'm not sure if it's related to anything? I'll have to pay more attention

Same or feel like you gotta poop lol

yeah next time you get the sudden random urge, feel your belly to see if it’s firm.

I haven’t gotten that one yet. But I am starting to feel a weird tight sensation in my chest and throat too when I get them. I’ve got twins so things are getting crowded.

I actually read that a full bladder can cause Braxton hicks! So it may be the other way around. The urge to pee causes the contraction!

I get the chest tightening too- that’s how I know a BH is coming. My face also gets warm. So weird.

that’s true. I’m an L&D nurse so if my patients get too many contractions I’ll ask them to use the bathroom and usually the contractions space out. But I can go to pee and still get that feeling a minute later when my bladder is pretty empty during a BH.

oh interesting! I haven’t had the face warmth

If I have to pee the Braxton Hicks will start. Once I go they usually chill for a bit. I’ve been dealing with this for 4 weeks straight 😩

in addition to emptying your bladder, make sure you stay hydrated! That will help keep from getting contractions too. And rest if they start picking up or seem excessive.

Yep everytime almost
