Contractions????

I'm 32+3 weeks and I had my first NST (non stress test) today. The nurse said that I was having little contractions but I didn't feel anything?? What does that mean?? I'm an ftm if you can't tell.

I started getting NST's done every two weeks at 32 weeks and the first couple times my Braxton Hick contractions were out of control. So they gave me a shot of tuberulatine and checked my cervix to see if I was at risk for preterm.. But I was totally fine! I actually had a yeast infection and after it cleared up my contractions stopped. I'm 38 weeks now so obviously me and baby are perfectly fine!

Braxton hicks contractions. My doctor told me that not every woman even realizes they're having them, it depends on how sensitive she is. You can usually tell you're having them if you touch your stomach and it feels hard, even if you don't feel the normal contraction feeling with them

No, most of the time you don't feel them. They actually start kinda early on in your pregnancy. Don't know you have them til later :) it's normal to have Braxton hicks at 32 weeks whether you feel them or not.

They may of been braxton hicks which can be painless. These are practice contractions. Your bump will go tight and then will go back to how it was. These can come and go at anytime with no regular pattern.x
