How many times per day are you getting Braxton Hicks Contractions?

I’m 33 weeks and 6 days pregnant and get it a lot during the day. Especially when I get up and start to walk around.
I usually have to stop or slow down.

Ohhhh. Congrats on the twins. Yes today I’ve been getting them a lot. I didn’t realize that I was getting them earlier on. I wasn’t sure what Braxton Hicks contractions felt like lol. Do you find they stop you in your steps?

Thank you xxx yes, they do stop me sometimes as well...but I get them.when I'm.sitting down doing nothing too, but babies are quite active so.i think they trigger that a lot as my uterus is under a lot of pressure 😁🙈🤰🏽 are they painful for.you or.just uncomfortable?

I’m pregnant with twins also and I’m having them quite frequently now, lots of pressure as lina said I think that makes them quite frequent.
I’m 31 weeks and had 4/5 today I think.
Just breathe through them 🙂 our bodies are amazing and preparing us for birthing x

they are just uncomfortable where I have to stop what I’m doing but when I’m getting punched in my cervix at the same time then it hurts.

Then it should be OK, if they last longer or comes with pain and more frequent then I would go for a check up xxx but now they just sound like normal braxton hicks 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
