I have Braxton hicks all the time and I’m 24 weeks. I started noticing them at like 9 weeks, though. Braxton hicks is totally normal and not a sign of preterm labor. Do they just feel like your belly tightening or are you feeling pain and cramping?

it’s kinda both I talked to my doctor and she said to just make sure that I feel baby move and that my water does not break and if they get more intense then come into labor and deliver to be monitored

Okay, I’m glad you talked to your doc! Sometimes I do get crampy too, but mine is mostly from my gut being a bit wacky. Glad you got answers!

me to I was worried about it bc of the fact I don’t really remember having them with my first born

My first pregnancy I got the BH all the time … you’ll know what a real contraction is when it comes hahaha

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 😭
