very new
As some may know I'm completely new to this and this is my first baby. Can anybody tell me what braxton hicks is? And also if you have any advice or tools feel free to tell me!
It feels like your stomach going from normal to hard and tight. They can be semi painful but wont stay long it will come and go. Youll no when ur having real contractions most of the time. Those can make u tear up and hard yo walk and your back front sides will be hurting.
They aren't supposed to hurt but mine do sometimes,, i mostly get them in the shower lol. It just feels like your tummy is really hard and tight. And girl morning sickness is the devil lol, but it passes:) try and eat every 2 hours a small meal, eat the food you crave its a reason your craving it. If you feel something is wrong get it checked out your the mommy you know your body better then anyone. All of us on here agree that we are very opinionated! So if someone gives you advice you don't like just take it with a grain of salt. There are a whole bunch of amazing ladies on here who help alot:) so don't be afraid to come with any question in the book,, we do all the time lol. Good luck in your pregnancy:) if you ever need anything I'm here:) I'm aftm and 18 so I'm young to and learning as i go along
sometimes my are very painful other times not soo much. but now bein so close they feel like full blown labor pains. im 35 weeks. congrats on yout pregnancy
My Braxton hicks are only semi painful of I'm laying down. Otherwise my stomach just gets really hard. Just feels like pressure.
lol don't worry. from what I hear, most women don't really have too painful ones. I'm just soo lucky lol
Um, I'm a FTM so I'm not really sure what it feels like to go into labor lol but your stomach/back tightens up and mine are painful the farther along I get. Kinda like a really painful charlie horse in my lower abdomen.
So it just feels like you're going into labor or something? I'm getting a few books eventually but right now I don't have any so I'm trying to get as much knowledge as I can.
They're "practice contractions". Some women experience them as early as the second trimester, whereas others don't experience them until they're term.
