quick question

I am 36+5 and am having an odd experience was hoping someone can tell me whats going on. my stomach is going hard like with contractions but there is no pain and under the belly button is going flat when this happens. It feels very strange and is happening every few minutes. Any thought about what might be happening.

Yes. It's just all the muscles & ligaments were probably relaxed. Try to stand up real slow & it should help but sometimes it will still hurt as your belly grows.

i laid down for a min because have been super tired and nausiated and when i stood up to let the dogs in it felt like someone stomped on my pubic area also normal??

[Combs7]

Yes. They can come anytime. I had to have my labor stopped 2 weeks ago because I was having real contractions & dialating. They stopped but for the last week I've been having BH everyday. Some times they even hurt, may only be on one side, or only on the top or only on the bottom. They just like to confuse us. This is #4 for me so I've been through just about everything. lol

can u have BH after havin real contractions because i have had contractions here and there and I thought I had the BH before and this feels nothing like them although all this is new to me I am ftm

They are braxton hicks contractions. BH's are practice contractions that usually don't hurt or make you dialate. They are preparing your body for labor.
