Braxton hicks 🤮

Yes! I didn’t really get them my first pregnancy but this one they’re actually a little painful 😂 I keep thinking is today the day, then they go 🤣

Yep definitely starting to get them now, feels strange x

My midwife said sometimes it can be due to moving around a lot or being very active. I started getting them quite early and my midwife said I need to slow down and rest or it’ll end up being early labour 😅🥴

This is my first pregnancy but I’m really not sure if I’ve had them or not. I had some ache this evening after I’d walked around shopping for a while a bit like period pains and started panicking that it might be labour 😂😂but went after about 5 mins. I’m 32 weeks so thinking surely I must’ve had them by now? Is that the pain I felt or would that be different 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ x

this is probably the reason I have them 🙈. I literally don’t stop, always doing something, I’m due to see my midwife tomorrow so will talk to them about it 🙈

not everyone gets them. But sounds like them. There like period type pain well mine are anyways 🤷.its not pleasant, and are very very very light compared to normal contractions lol xx

Yes! I had a false labour yesterday on a 4 hour drive home from London started off with Braxton hicks about 12:30/1pm when I was shopping then got extremely intense and was painful! Also had the “clear out” poop I had to stop at a pub I thought I was having my baby on the toilet I was petrified! This is baby number 3 so felt exactly like contractions! Today I’m fine, I’ll be 32 weeks on Saturday!

oh my gosh how scary 😫. This is also baby number 3 for me too, is it me or does the braxton hicks feel more intense with the more pregnancy’s you’ve had I don’t remember them being this bad last time, they just keep coming and going not a nice feeling at all 😩

definitely! I said to my partner I don’t remember even having them on my other two and he was like yes you did but no where near as soon or bad!

yes this me! I literally have to tell myself to slow down! 😩🙈

since slowing down have you noticed they have calmed down 🙈. I’m literally up so early deep cleaning my husband goes mad at me because it don’t need doing but I don’t feel ok if I don’t do it 🙈. I got to slow down. These on and off period type pains ain’t nice at all 😭

yes as soon as i slowed down they went away … would come back now and again but not so intense like before x
For benefit, I would say please slow down or it could go horribly wrong x

definitely has yes had a few today though, I’ve got 10 shifts left in work!

thank you hunny ❤️. I will defo take your advice. I saw the midwife today and she said the same. Xx

of course girl, we are all here to help each other … honestly it’s hard to slow down but once you do, your body will be much better for it xx
