when?
ok.... im 32w1d and i havent had any pains or so called "braxton hicks." when should i be feeling them? and how will i know if its "braxton hicks" or im having "contractions"? and is it normal for me not to be feeling them yet?
Braxon hicks are where your stomach gets tight then releases, they shouldn't be painful, just uncomfortable, irregular. The real contractions are painful and stop you dead in your tracks, become more intense and more frequent.
Well I'm 39 weeks due Saturday and have never had bh's. I have had period like cramps. I just last night started to have contractions but in my back! Some women don't get bh's but you will know when you have contractions they hurt like heck and you can barely move sometimes breath! I wouldn't worry about not having them just yet or having bh!
