Any second (or more) timers having braxton hicks?

[housewife28]

Hi ladies.  Is anyone here who is pregnant with their second or more experiencing braxton hicks contractions? If so, are they quick or just dull and long?  I've had a period of a half hour or so where my stomach tightens, my back hurts, and I feel achy... and this has happened a couple of times over the last two days.  I remember this with my first, but just much later in the pregnancy.  My doctor said if it happens 4 or more times in an hour to come in, but it's not that frequent at all. In general, I just feel tightness a lot more lately?  Anyone else?

I have been experiencing them also and did so with my other pregnancies. I know they are "practice" contractions and don' t pay them much attention unless they are frequent or painful. Then I keep track so I would say you are okay as long as you aren't feeling regularity with them.

I have been experiencing the tightness a few times a day but it is not severe.  Just make sure you are keeping a track of the time to make sure they are not regular.  Good luck.
