Braxton hicks Contractions?
Has anyone started to notice Braxton hicks Contractions? I didn't really get much of them at all with my first pregnancy but this time I've been getting them for the past month at least. At first i wasn't sure what it was, but then more recently it's started happening every 3 days or so.
I'm not worried about it as I know it's normal, but I'm just wondering if other's are having the same thing. Also does anyone know if they are an indication that you might go into labor earlyear? With my first I really didn't have them at all and I was 2 weeks late, now I'm just wondering if I have a chance of being early because of the BHC's? I'll be asking my midwife at my next apt in a few weeks, but I was just wondering what you ladies thought.

I never felt them my first pregnancy but I feel them all the time now. I asked my doctor about it and she said we feel them better with the more pregnancies we have because our bodies remember them better. Apparently we're supposed to be much more sensitive to pretty much everything our 2nd or more time around. She said its more common for 2nd time moms to go to the hospital with complaints than it is first time moms. I don't think its a sign that you'll go early or late though.
I started to experience them last night for the first time. This is my first baby so at first it freaked me out a little but my mom explained to me what it was so I know what it is now. I have had about 3 yesterday and 2 so far today. They feel really weird and they hurt a lot worse than what everyone said they would. They are nothing like period cramps which is what everyone said it was going to be like. I cant believe that its 3 months till Naomi is supposed to be here! I cant wait to see her and to hold her.
Yes it has, I've only got 90 days left and planned a lot of things between now and then so I'm hoping it will continue to go quickly.
Haha I am right there with you! This pregnancy seems to have gone by REALLY fast... but I am still impatient. I want to meet my little one already! :)
Ah, thanks! It's just so weird, but it's getting me really excited for October!
