Braxton Hicks Posted: 06-27-06 17:11pm
All right, ladies, help me out here. I'm
34 weeks along, and I don't believe i've
noticed any contractions. I'm definitely
not feeling any pain or discomfort, and
i'm not feeling any tightening in my
stomach. About the only thing I *have*
felt is lower back pain, but that's pretty
consistent. I've read that some women
don't feel them, but I still can't help
but wonder...
Are .B.H contractions something that
*every* woman has, whether she notices
them or not? Because i'm not entirely
convinced that i've been having them
(though i'm sure I must be). Thanks in
advance.

I am not sure if everyone gets them perse,
but I do know they are said to occur to
prepare you for labor. Its like a test
run!

I never had braxton hicks and I had back
labour. All I can say is they couldn;t
give me the epidural fast enough!!!!
Oh god, I had back labor...There are no
words to describe that pain.... I wanted
to die. Plus my epidural didnt work! Fun
stuff ;)

Well the contractions are in your back.
So I guess it's both!! Lol
Well my contractions were moslty in my
back, thats why its called back
labor...But I had some regular abdominal
ones too...But I mean a contraction is a
contraction ...It takes over your whole
body pretty much and there is no other
pain like it!

Well, I always felt my period cramps in my
back, so that makes sense now. But my
back pain in the last few weeks has been
*consistant*. The only thing that seems
to help is heat. I'm not sure if i'm
feeling the .B.H or not in my back, since
it hurts all the time anyway.
I'm scared now though, because I really
don't want back labor. If the epidural
wears off, they don't give you another
dose or something? I don't know if I can
manage that kind of pain :( I have such a
low tolerance.
