View 2 RepliesI am 37 weeks pregnant and having false labor. I know it's just preparing my body and I have been resting most of the day and just decided to make me a salad and drink some water and now I am have braxton hicks contractions every 5 minutes. Are there any suggestions? I am really annoyed that I am having them and I do not want to go to the hospital either just to get turned away.
View 3 RepliesI'm a ftm and I'm 34 weeks along and haven't had a Braxton hicks or regular contractions. There's a girl I work whose daughter is about the same along and she already 2 mins apart with contractions. I'm confused and concerned because I don't want to labor at home.
View 6 RepliesI'm 19 weeks and this has happened 5 times within the last week and a half. Shaky sweaty feel the need to push every few seconds can last up to 20 minutes. Feels like period cramps that makes me have to go to the bathroom. Started at 18 weeks and comes every few days. When it happens I am afraid I am having the baby early. Is this Braxton Hicks or should I talk to my Dr?
View 3 RepliesAt least once a day I get a pain that lasts between 20-30 seconds. It's a little painful and makes me stop whatever I'm doing and then im fine, someone suggested it was Braxton Hicks but do you really get them this early?
View 1 RepliesThis pregnancy is so different than my first. My baby moves ALL the time and I feel her kick a lot! Last night my belly felt tight on and off for awhile. It didn't hurt. It just felt uncomfortable. Is this braxton hicks or possibly baby moving around? is this normal? I'm not bleeding nor in any pain cept slight back pain. I'm probably just being paranoid.

View 5 RepliesThis is my second pregnancy and I don't remember having them so early during my first. I was thinking it was round ligament pain but I'm having second thoughts that they are braxton hicks from the tightness feeling and the release. I did some reading and suppose they can come as early as 20 weeks and earlier if this is not your first pregnancy. I'm not necessarily concerned just surprised getting them so early. I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow.
View 3 RepliesI've been having more frequent BH and they make my lower stomach tighten and hurt and even my back aches when they happen. Only last for a little But this is normal right?
View 1 RepliesCan Braxton hicks cause back pain? I have been having back pain for probably almost 3 hours now and it keeps going away and coming back and the last time it came (probably 15 minutes ago) it was even more painful then the times before and I felt like I couldn't move ...
View 5 RepliesWhat has helped you ladies go into labour on your own? I'm literally due in 2 days (on the 9th) and was only dilated 1cm on Tuesday, I really don't want to go overdue or be induced. I've only been having Braxton hicks, no actual labour pains, it's so frustrating. I've done walking, and bouncing lightly on an exercise ball.

View 1 RepliesI am being induced on sept 10th I have not been thru this before and looking for anybody with the experience of being induced to tell me how it worked.

View 5 RepliesI'll be 22 weeks tomorrow and I don't know what to expect when it comes to labor besides pain. Lol I'm a ftm & I really want to try to go natural..I know I'm probably just saying that now because I've never experienced such pain, but the way I think of it is...our bodies are meant for labor if women back then could do it without medication why can't I.? The only way I'll do it natural if it's a water birth. I read into it and like what I've read so far. Any mother's out there experienced water births or just go natural period ?? I would love to hear your experience. Or any mother's looking into it.?
