and you shouldnt be getting them continuous, They say any BH that are more than 3 or 4 per hour, to be seen.

Braxton Hicks usually feel like tightening of the tummy down below. They shouldnt hurt, however some say that they do have some light discomfort. Where are you having these pains, and how far along are you.
