ok so 29 week mark hit today an I had my first strong braxton hicks. If that's how labour is I will…

I found labour to be nothing like braxton hicks completely different type of pain x

I can imagine @shelby but a girl can dream haha xx

I've never found Braxton hicks painful, just very uncomfortable. They do seem to have got significantly worse with each pregnancy though 😱

yer was very uncomfortable I looked strange swaying round the office haha xx

I would honestly rather be in labour than have these braxton hicks! The pain is completely different & I am crying in pain. I never cried at all while in labour with my first!! xx

I don't think I've had them 😕. What do they feel like? Xx

I hope I feel the same. An it's a tightness to the belly an back not bad I thought xx

I didn't have them with my first @tremzini not everyone gets them & like @sarah29493 says it's really strong tightenings in your lower back and tummy and you can get sharp pains down below as well. Personally they just get worse the further along I get! xx

By the time I was 34 weeks they were really bad even a warm bath didn't help, paracetamol did though for about an hour xx
