I don't know if i have experienced them but sometimes my belly is really hard, feels like i have a stitch and i rub my belly then it stops.

I don't know if i have experienced them but sometimes my belly is really hard, feels like i have a stitch and i rub my belly then it stops.

I get that sensation, sometimes high, sometimes low, I just thought it was bub pushing right out against me...
Oh the wonders of pregnancy

im 28 weeks on tuesday & for last 3 days ive been having dull all day cramps dont come&go just there for hours im guessing braxton hicks,i never had it with last 2 but after reading of of your posts im guessing its normal

I think because its your 2nd child you feel them earlier. I never had them with DD but everyone who has had them have said they are very ouchie!

maybe they are also more intense because you have had a hectic weekend and been very busy lately. I know its hard but try and take it easy. Big

For me they started around 12 weeks. They didn't hurt then & still don't now at 35 weeks but there is certainly a sensation & my tummy goes so hard it is amazing.

Every time I get one I praise my body for practicing before the real event....good body

I think i have been getting this from time to time, my stomach seems to go rock hard for about 30 seconds then it goes away.
