Hey, I havn't been on ina while. My gma
just got out of the hospital now my dad is
in it, this is a lovely xmas... Anywho
wanted to ask what do non painful
contractions or braxton hicks feel like
well in your words anyways? I had a
painful m/c so I know what those feel
like. But i've been having pressure in my
stomache that moves into my pelvis and
made my stomache feel stiff. Stays there
for a min then just passes, about
15-30mins later it comes back. Doesn't
bug me besides the fact sometimes makes it
hard to breathe for a second. Just kind
of concerned since it happens alot, have
doc app tomarrow but wanted some other
womens oppinion who might know whats up.
Thnx ^_^b

Yeah, it sounds like you're having normal
braxton hicks there! When I had them, it
felt like my whole tummy went really hard
and extra sensitive to touch. They
weren't painful at all but were sometimes
a bit uncomfortable because my bump would
be so solid. The tightening would
usually last anything from 10 secs to a
minute and I got them quite a lot. My
midwife told me I had an 'irritable
uterus' because she only had to touch my
tummy and I would get a braxton hicks!

Yeah, sounds like bh! It felt like just
a "tightening" at first and of course the
belly gets hard. Mine were very
uncomfortable. At a couple points I
thought I was going into labor because
they hurt. I was just one of the
unfortunate few that had painful bh
contractions.
