I haven't been through this myself, but understand that it is your body just getting ready for the real thing....A practice run. Don't worry if you get them muddled up and end up going to hospital....Better to be safe and get checked out.

Good luck with your baby!

Braxton hicks feels different for everyone. Most of the time they aren't painful, it's you utreus contracting, your whole stomach gets tight and hard. If they get painful, or you have more than 5 in one hour, call your doctor or go to the hospital! I'm only 21 weeks, however, i'm having twins and my uterus is measured at around 33 weeks, i've gooten them since my 18 week. Good luck!

Thnx guys... Wow goodluck to your twins... It actually feels like im having my period. But it is not that intense. =)

:? Yeah I am only 2wks behind you and I have been having contrations since I was 21 wks. Like she said it deffers for everyone. Mine are painful but they said that it was normal. Last month it was to the point that I thought I was in labor but they said sorry its just those contrations. So I am like when will I know if its the real thing to.
