Braxton Hicks

I am 23w5d and for a couple of weeks now have been feeling hardening and tightening of my uterus. No cramps/no pain. I believe these to be Braxton Hicks contractions, but I wasn't expecting these until the 3rd trimester.

Anyone else experience this at this point in their pregnancy?

Re: Braxton Hicks

I am asking my Dr on Monday about this. I am a few weeks ahead of you but have been having similar for the past 2 and don't know if I should be alarmed or its BH.

Re: Braxton Hicks

I was going to post this. I just got hardening of my stomach and I am almost 22 weeks...not sure if it was BH or not.

Re: Braxton Hicks

I am also 23wks (but just 3 days...lol) and same thing here. Definitely BH....I had them with DD. It's totally fine and normal. They just say to make sure they aren't consistenent and no more than 10 (i think) in an hour. I don't really worry about. It's your uterus practicing for the big day!

Re: Braxton Hicks

My appt is also Monday! Thanks girls! Nice to hear that I'm not alone and normal

Re: Braxton Hicks

I am having a lot of BH (I'm 24w today). Much more that I ever had with DS. I have been having them for the last few weeks, they are a little uncomfortable but they don't seem to be following a pattern and are not very frequent, so I am not too concerned. I will mention it to my OB when I see him on Wed though.
