So yesterday for the first time...

I felt Braxton Hicks Contractions. Definitely not what I thought they would feel like. Everyday is a new experience.

How far long are you? What do they feel like?

Re: So yesterday for the first time...

I am either 34W2D (according to LMP) or 35W2d (according to my DR). I have stuck with my original due date which puts me at 34W2D. They are like a tightening feeling in your uterus. I feel them low because my baby is dropping. The Dr. told me to expect them soon so I didn't panic. There is no regularity with them and I felt like 5 between yesterday and today. Supposedly it is your body's way of getting ready for labor. It is a weird feeling though. It doesn't hurt it is just uncomfortable.

I think the best way to describe them is to say they feel like menstrual cramps. I feel them very low, and they only last a few minutes at best. At this point (I'm 35w6d) they're just annoying more then anything else!!

HTH!

I've had them for three weeks now, but sporadically.

Yesterday I got a few more then usual, then nothing.

I'd describe them as more of a tightening feeling vs. menstrual cramps.
