It's a tightening feeling in your tummy. Not menstrual cramps.

You get them around 7 months I think. And I have them.

It feels like your whole stomach gets tied in a knot. Lol...Its pretty uncomfortable.

I don't know when I started getting them because I thought it was just the pbaby pushing up against me really hard...But I was wrong.

I have them all the time. At first they didn't hurt, but now it does feel a little like dull period cramps.

I think you can get them earlier than that, they just arent as noticeable...I know I used to wake up in the morning and my tummy would feel really tight and hard and my doc said they were braxton hicks...That was at like 4 mths I think...

Yeah mine kinda feel like cramps now, but they arent really bad

Cramps?? Umm..Maybe that's something else then. Because I dont think they're supposed to feel like cramps. Just tightening. And even if they do feel like cramps it's not until your farther along, like in lauren's case. How far along are you?

Me? Im 29 wks

Wow...I havent noticed any yet, but I dont really know what im looking for either! I know about a month ago I noticed that my stomach was rock hard, but I thought it was just my uterus, and it didnt feel like a cramp, or weird or anything.

No no not you amanda

I'm having them right now actually. I've been having them a lot for the past four days. I have to talk to my doctor about it monday. It's really uncomfortable for me and it's like no matter what I do I can't get comfortable. I've been feeling this pain in my lower back and up into my groin too though, so maybe it's something else along with the brazton hicks. My stomach gets really really hard.

You may be actually contracting...

God I hope not.
