Hi

Coupld of questions on Braxton Hicks
- at what stage do braxton hicks start if you get them?
- does everyone get them? and
- what do they feel like?

I'm just under 31 weeks and last night got a really tight sharp pain in my abdomen- kinda accross the middle of my bump. It wasn't like anything I'd ever experienced before. It lasted for about a minute or so. Didn't feel like a period pain or a cramp which would feel lower down. And didn't really feel as if it was moving across more static. It did feel less intense when I straightened up. It just came on all of a sudden and then went away ????

Baby was active before and after so not particularily concerned but just wondered if anyone could shed some light on what it might have been. Haven't read too much on braxton hicks yet so don't know if they kick at my stage or just later?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers Meadsie
