Braxton Hicks

Hi y'all, 29 + 2 days here. Just wondering if anyone has already had Braxton Hicks contractions? I haven't, but I heard that some women get them as early as the second trimester... is it normal that I haven't?

Each of my pregnancies have had them more frequently I only had two my entire first pregnancy. This time, which is my 4th, I’ve been having them daily since 19 weeks.

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I have been having them for a few weeks now! Didn’t really notice them with my first pregnancy.

I’ve started to have them and I’m about there right now

Okay follow up question. Do they feel like cramps? Or is it like a whole separate sensation?

Mine have felt like very very mild cramps. My stomach gets tight too. Real contractions are very intense.

Some of us don’t have them at all! Especially if it’s first pregnancies so yes it can be normal for sure!!

I'm having them all the freaking time. I literally never had them in my first pregnancy and in this one they've been intense enough that sometimes I have to breathe through it

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
