braxton hicks
jsut had my first braxton hicks. stomach got really tight and hard, relaxed after a few minutes. it was really kind of scary. i'm 25 weeks - normal to have them at this point, right? it was pretty uncomfortable

Re: braxton hicks
Totally normal. I find that I get them more when I'm dehydrated or after too much activity.

Same here, one BH reminds me it's time to slow down and drink lots of water.

Re: braxton hicks
Very strange... I've been having this feeling too.. belly gets MAJORLY hard. I've always thought it was the baby moving... but the more I think about it, the more I think I'm having them too!
It's a very weird feeling.

Re: braxton hicks
You actually start to get Bracton Hicks contractions starting at around 6 weeks...Some women never feel them...
I get a ton of them and start feeling them at about 16 weeks...
I do what everyone else says and make sure that I drink lots of water ...I have also learned that changing position will usually make it stop.

Re: braxton hicks
Totally normal - you only have to watch it if they are constant or you get more than a certain amount in an hour and if they last a 30sec -1 min each time.

Re: braxton hicks
I had them from about 6 weeks on. My midwife said if I got more than 4 in an hour to call. I always drank a ton of water, so dehydration wasn't the issue.
