Just curious, is it normal for Braxton Hicks to be extremely painful? Never hurt this bad when I was…

R u able to time them and do they get worse when u stand up and walk?

@positivemommy, they stay about the same when I stand it lay down. I haven't timed them. But it's been like 3 contractions in an hour since like 2am

Hmm.. I've never really had them but from what I have been told from asking lots of questions on here, is the women say it's Braxton hicks if the pain doesn't get worse when you move or u can time them. So since they r painful u may want to time them and see how many minutes apart they are. I know it's very normal at this stage to get them considering your body is getting ready.

@positivemommy, I'm definitely monitoring them.

Mine are very painful! I can't imagine what actual contractions are like. 😦😯

Good if they get closer and stronger definitely call the doctor. Also they have told me that it's BH if it's near the top to mid part of your belly and works down. Real contractions should be only in your lower abdomen or start in your back and wrap to your belly.

@evelynsmommy1208, this is baby number 2 for me and mine feel just like my contractions did with my son. I am hoping to avoid on epidural but if my contractions are worse than these then not sure

@positivemommy, I have most of my contraction pains in my lower back and lower stomach. I'm just hoping to some sleep tonight and everything to work out and no early little princess.

Yeah I hope not too your babies got a little ways to cook 😉 I hope u can find some soothing, if u r very worried or they get stronger call your doctor or L&D.

I plan on it
