Hi, im 32 weeks pregnant and I ve heard
about braxton hicks contractions around my
stage. Does anyone know how it feels
like? Will it be mistaken as false labor?
Thanks in advance... :d

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!

:? 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.
