BH Contractions

Well the past week I have been having what I can only assume are braxton hicks contractions.  After having natural labor with my son there is no confusion to what a contraction feels like and these feel just like what I remember.  Almost unbearable pain all over my entire tummy.  They will come 4 or 5 in a row then stop for a few days.  I never had BH with my son so I was quite surprised when I felt them.  Anyone else having them?  I'm 23 weeks...(6 months)

Sorry not been on for a few days. BH are not meant to hurt at all!!! My new midwife told me theother day that it's okay if I have about 20 a day because that's what on average I get but if they hurt and are ten minutes apart to go in!
It's not just me either ladies, I checked with all my friends and theirs were not painful either....are you all sure this isn't ligament pain??

I have them, more when I have done too much or am just physically exhausted.

Yep, I am having them too. Mine started around week 16. I have them mainly in the afternoon or at the end of a very long day of doing more than I should.
