im 30 weeks today and lately my braxton hicks have been really painful, i need to stop and lean on something walking makes them worse like i cant move my legs properly, or take proper steps.
the pain is mainly in my lower abdomin, i dont remember them being this painful in my last pregnancy.
i thought they were meant to be relatively painless, are yours painful ?
how often are they coming have you timed them at all it might be worth a call to the hospital and see what they say Play it safe
from what i know BH make your tummy tight all over are uncomfortable but are not painful were as contraction pain is tightening all over with pain starting in the back coming round to the lower tummy or other way round tummy to back so if noting is easing them ie they are not going away when you walk or a bath or shower isnt helping then ild get checked just incase
good luck hope it eases off soon for you :)
how are you now? ok i hope
BH can becomestronger and more frequent with subsequent pregnancies. i noticed them a lot ealier in my 2nd pg and at times i had to breath through them.
pls come back and let us know how u are going
yeah im not to bad havnt really had another strong one since sunday - they arnt regular .. yeah i noticed them earlier this time too.
also my DS was really sick yesterday his first real sickness vomiting and that so i didnt do to much bar sit and cuddle him.
I to have had painful BH contractions with this pg. I have never had them before so wasn't really sure what they were at first.
It starts off in my back and then my tummy tightens all over and I feel a pressure in my head. Sounds weird I know lol but I have been reassured by my m/w they are ok.
I have had to take some panadol and use a hot water bottle and when that didn't work I gave myself an O lol. That worked as it released some of the tension in the muscles ; )
I have a feeling that I will go early with this one so the countdown is on
