Ok I am trying to stay calm but I have no
clue what is going on here! I keep having
these tightening contractions in my lower
abdomin. It only hurts when I try and
breath in and they last about 3-5 seconds.
But I am not sure whats going on. Is it
possible to be having braxton hicks this
early?? I am 26.5 weeks

You can have braxton hicks anytime after
your first trimester and they do just feel
like tightening in your belly....Or
knots...Sometimes they hurt and sometimes
they dont...Thats what my doctor told me

I called my doc at break and he told me
that it is completely normal and not to
worry. I am a little excited now because
I found out that this is preparing my body
for labor! Just a little more assurance
that everything is going good! Sorry for
freaking out girls!

I am 28 weeks and have been having bh
contractions off and on for a couple weeks
now. It freaked me out to cause I didn't
have these with my daughter. If I did, I
didn't notice them
