braxton contractions

[frenchhen]

Is it possible that i may be experiencing braxton contractions while i sleep? Im 32 weeks along and off and on over the past week my upper belly feels as if i attempted doing situps and is a little sore, not necissarily painful what do u think?

This is my second and remember having braxton contractions the first time around but im not sure if i ever had this soreness the first time

And I do wake up feeling like I did sit ups.

Brax contractions dont hurt they just feel uncomfortable like a tightening all over the belly. But then they go away. Im 33 weeks and I get them at work if I stand on my feet to long. My dr said go to the bathroom then drink water and put feet up and they go away. Its totally normal to have them at this point.

Yes some braxton hicks dont hurt. Ive been getting them too. More painless but a few painful. Some of the painless I notice because all of a sudden it feels hard to breathe, then I notice my stomach area is tight and that its a contraction. After 30 seconds it goes away.

I felt that with my first pregnancy (on my fourth now) but not with any other pregnancies. I just assumed it was muscles being used that have never been used before.
