Is anyone experiencing Braxton hicks contractions yet? What are the symptoms and how can you tell the difference between these and real ones?
Thanks

Thank you for answering my question. I'm 32 weeks and I over did it with strenuous activities yesterday. I'm getting bigger and can't do what I've been use to in the last 2 trimesters.

Braxton hicks usually feels like all your stomach muscles tightening. Kind of like the "burning" sensation you get after doing a bunch of situps. Sometimes they hurt and sometimes they dont. Braxton hicks will come at different time intervoles and dont get stronger. real contractions will stay the same amount of time apart and continue to get stronger.
