YES! Multiple times a day and sometimes a little intense
Can someone describe to me how they feel in reality? I am 32 weeks and i read online the symptoms… i dont think i have them yet. And with my first being 11 yo i surely dont remember…
Yes! They are intense.
Yes I believe I am
@Katia I’m on the same page! I never experienced them with my first (I don’t think) and I haven’t experienced it with this current pregnancy either!
@Brianne yeah, i wonder how they would feel in reality
Since 28 weeks and I’m now 33 weeks. It’s not very often but here and there. With my first, it was intense and painful. This time around, some days it’s intense and painful and some days it’s mild/moderate and uncomfortable.
Yes!! At random time!! I received only 3x in one month already.
@Katia kinda feel alike period cramps but last about between 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
@Cassandra Laguna thank you!! Yeah, 32 weeks and dont have them
Mine started yesterday, man it hurt!!
@Katia my midwife asked if I was having them, and I said no, but described baby’s movements, and it turns out that it is BH. Mine are a super quick tightening/hardening sensation of the abdomen- they last <5 seconds for me, so really brief. baby always moves immediately after in response to them, which is why I didn't know what they were. The midwives say they're good to have since they're "practice" contractions.
I didn’t recognize them at first but lately I’ve realized they started for me at about 30 weeks. I experience them as an uncomfortable tightening/hardening of the upper abdomen, and if I press on my skin then it feels hard to the touch, not at all squishy like it usually feels. They happen unpredictably at random times but seem especially triggered by me getting in the car
Yeah I’ve been having them a lot more often too mostly at night I try to drink a lot of water before I go to bed might make me use the bathroom a lot but it’s kinda helps them be not as painful since sometimes they are from dehydration since during pregnancy we need more fluids than usual
Yessss! Every day now
