braxton hicks?

Anyone else's Braxton hicks contractions hurt? Geez! , everyone says "oh, they are just uncomfortable". Ha, mine are painful, i don't consider that just 'uncomfortable'

Been having them since 17 weeks this is my second never had with first. They are less painful now than before and I haven't been getting them as frequently. Uncomfortable was not how I would describe it but I suppose compared to real ones they are nothing!

My braxton hicks feel like menstrual cramps, they last for a few seconds

Zoey you might not, I never noticed my first pregnancy, and haven't this one either (except for after sex) the tightening you get after an orgasm is a braxton hicks contraction.

This is my first, so im not sure what to even expect as far as BH. I'm almost 33 weeks and I cant say i've had any BH, is that normal? Im assuming I'll know if im having them?

Yes it is my first. I'm assuming they are in fact Braxton Hicks because it's so early.

I've never gotten many braxton hicks, but I've heard they can be painful. Is this your first pregnancy or no?
