braxton hicks

[texaslane528]

Okay I have a question I'm pregnant with my second girl. This pregnancy has been totally different I'm 25 weeks pregnant and almost on adaily basis my belly just feels super tight on and off through the day, almost like I just ate a huge meal. sometimes they are really really uncomfortable.its been 7 years since my first and i dont remember ever having this feeling till right before i had my daughter? Should i be worried? Is this braxton hicks? And how can i get them to quit, or lighten up its making it super hard to work.

Your in a very simular situation as I am. This is my second child also and my daughter is also 7 years old! My stomach feels this was almost daily, i'm 35 weeks 1 day, and as long as its not constant or within 5 mins apart there isn't much they can do especially if there not painful intense contrations. I actually just got put on bed rest because of mine so make sure you drink plenty of water and rest, that's what my dr told me to do cause its supposed to weaken the intensity. Hope that helps!!

Im 22 weeks and have the same thing. started about 19 weeks. I was told not to worry unless it is verry painful and comes in regular intervals. If you find a way to get them to quit please let me know.
