So I was just wondering (what with this being my first bub, and me being completely naive and all )...

what do Braxton Hicks feel like? Are they different for every woman or is there a general across-the-board type feeling?

The reason I'm asking is because last night, I had a pain that felt a bit like period pain but slightly worse - nothing agonising, just uncomfortable and almost like a 'smarting' kind of pain. Hard to describe, but it did make me squint a little until it was over. I've not had anything since. It was a little disconcerting, but I'm 32 weeks preg on friday so I guess I'm around the right time for BH to start.

I've got a routine Dr's appt tomorrow so I'll definitly run it by him, but I was just wanting an experienced woman's perspective as, let's face it, as good as my Dr is, he'll never have the first person experience that you lovely ladies have

BTW if there's already a thread answering this, sorry, just let me know where!! Ta xox
