    Question Is this normal

    I am 24wks pg tomorrow and all today my tummy has felt really tight and heavy and I have had heaps of painful braxton hicks and have just felt off especially when I am moving around,chasing children,cleaning house,the usual daily activities.
    Is this normal to be feeling like this at this stage? I don't remember being like this with the other pregnancies.

    Thanks
    Michelle

    Sounds normal to me. Try to slow down a little. I know this can be difficult with young children around. Also have a look at your diet. Your braxton hicks should ease off a little in the next few days.

    They got stronger and more noticable for me with every pregnancy, Michelle

    I remember the more I would move around during the day, the more b/h I'd have. If you can try and take it easy. Easier said than done I know.
