I'm a first time mom..I'm 33 weeks tomorrow (2.12.16) and I haven't felt Braxton hicks contractions at all...what exactly do they feel like? the only movement that I have felt in my abdominal region is my son moving..when should I start feeling these "practice contractions"?
your belly gets tight. those are contractions. kinda like after you have sex its normal for your belly to contract. its the same feeling. could be less intense for some. or more for others
@elijahmom216, @lccarry I'm due on Feb 14th and haven't felt any either. I get pains across my stomach but I think it is just him stretching.
Yeah I heard it's like a drawing feeling like you described but I haven't felt anything like that.
I never felt any & I also didn't have any contractions like they say until I was actually in labor
Lol. definitely will know. everyone says it's like a tightening feeling. kinda like you're flexing I guess? some people notice some don't.
k. I didn't know if it was normal to not have any "practice contractions" or not. I'm pretty sure when I have real contractions I surely will know it lol
I don't have any of that
