I never noticed them with my son but with this baby I am. Luckly they havent been to bad and are just few and far between.  Maybe once a week. Of course always when im working or trying to do something important. =) guess it could be worse.

Yes, I know how you feel salihahazimi. My husband is on constant alert when I stop suddenly, or do my breathing exercise cause its so tight and uncomfortable. I rarely go anywhere without him with me now that the dr. Has put me on early disability from work cause I almost passed out while on shift. But I am grateful because with him close I know I can get immediate help if I need it.

@River thank you. I'm am so ready to have him. My tummy goes side to side plus he's so active daily. I'm so grateful but at the same time I miss my energy, and body! Yes, it happens a lot when I'm out and I have to stop to catch my breath. It's even more crazy when you are about to be intimate and they have you have to stop. Lol

Yes, I feel that all the time Dee. When he moves his fingers. It's weird. When your whole stomach gets tight or you feel period like cramps that's Braxton hicks.

Very uncomfortable. Has anyone felt like your baby was flicking your vagina? I don't know if it stretching or contractions but after it stops I have to pee? Is that one of the signs of braxton hicks?
