Braxton Hicks? Feels like?

i thought maybe this morning I had my first Hrazton Hick? My stomach muscles felt like I just did a hard core ab workout for about 20 seconds.... Did this a couple times.... Anyone felt this before? I'm 26 wks

And getting more than 4 in an hour is no need to worry either. If they getting more intense or closer together as time goes on, that means it b is turning into real labor. Having 5 or 6 or even 8 in an hour is also not a big deal. Especially as you get closer to your due date. Just need to monitor the intensity and the duration of them.

Yeah your tummy will tighten up and kinda flex by itsself.. Im 24weeks and have been getting them for a while. As long as you dont get more than 4 in an hour, no need to worry.

I wasn't actually looking at my tummy when it happened! But good to know that it's a similar feeling :)

Sounds like you had BH. Can you see them tense up and release? That's usually a good sign that is BH.
