what do braxton hicks feel like.

lol @katelynn18 & my mom has them I think @kitkat1015

@gionna_sav, lol my belly button has been confused for awhile. Top is out, bottom is in.

I'm also 37 weeks so that could explain or you're having one like my first where I barely felt any Braxton hicks . and btw stretch marks ruin in the family. it's based off genetics so if your mom has them you probably will. I stopped using lotion cause it actually made me itchier. try not to scratch cause it will stretch the stretch marks if any.

@katelynn18, thanks ! I don't even have a belly button anymore. it's flat !

Yes, honey! It's because your skin is stretching. My mama told me about it. Lotion will help but if you don't want stretch marks then go coco butter!

@kitkat1015, aww , see I just feel her kicking and see her punching and @katelynn18 I never knew itchy meant growing

If your belly gets itchy that is a sign to you that your belly is growing, so LOTION! I don't have any stretch marks & my 33 weeks! @gionna_sav

for this one they started pretty early. Probably before 20 weeks. the longer it goes though the tighter and the more i feel. like now I can feel it in my lower back too. the painful part is her ramming her head into the cervix. but that usually just happens randomly.

@kitkat1015, how many weeks were you

@katelynn18, I can't even tell she's growing lol

my first I barely felt them. this time they're annoying as hell. makes me light headed sometimes. makes my stomach extremely tight from a little above the belly button down. try to move positions usually helps me. our use the bathroom. for some reason I always get them if I hold it too long haha

@gionna_sav, yes but also don't mistake them for your growing uterus because they feel the same(on my part they do).

@expecting_carson16, hopefully. or I'll be going to the ER.

@d_maclaughlin, I'm do that. and relax. 😩 when I feel her kick it makes me want to cry everytime lol

mine almost makes me drop to my knees. if I'm cooking or standing to long I have to go sit down until they go away. but as long as they go away you know its just false labor

They'll come and go, I find taking a hot bath helps me & relaxing!! With my first I never really felt them but this time around I definitely do!

@expecting_carson16, I had sharp pains it made me want to cry and I wanted to lay down but @d_maclaughlin they went away and it hasn't happen anymore. all I feel is her kicking me

I think the opposite, they can be just as bad as labor pains but usually they aren't! It's just a lot of tight pressure

mine are sharp pains in my uterus. sit down and drink lots of water it helps. if they don't go away after that then it's probably real contractions

@katelynn18, like cramps?

Most of the time you will never feel them but when you do they feel like menstrual cramps. Also let your doctor know what you're feeling so they can help you.
