Tightening

Hey just have a quick question for you ladies. I am 38 w 5 d & I’ve been experiencing long periods of tightening with my belly. At first I was thinking maybe Braxton hicks but the tightening will last like 10 min or longer and goes on throughout the day. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I’ll be 39 weeks tomorrow and been on the same boat for almost 2 weeks now

I’m 38.2 and have had same thing for last few weeks. Doc said it’s just uterus / body getting ready. Basically Braxton hicks. Heating pad and lavender epsom salt bath have helped me with mine. Also hydration, may need some electrolytes

This happened for about a week maybe 2 before I went into labor my dr said BH but I still think it was something else

I’m 38 weeks today and that’s been happening to me for a couple weeks now too.

Same here. But add back pain to the mix. 38.5 weeks. Haven’t tried epsom salt. Hoping that makes The back pain less painful. Doctor says baby is right at my spine so it’s affecting my back

I'm 37 weeks and this has been going on for the last six weeks for me, midwife says it's Braxton Hicks, recommends if I'm sitting I get up and move around and if I'm up to sit down and rest. Drink lots of water
