Started feeling a lot of tightening and cramping today. Not sure if its Braxton hicks or what. Is it…

you're probably feeling Braxton Hicks. we're they consistent and close?

Few hours apart id say but I thought braxton hicks wernt supposed to hurt. These hurt... @misskaecolletto

yeah they're Braxton Hicks. and it varies for women. my Braxton Hicks gets so bad that I can't have anyone talk if they're around me. I had some the other day that made me tear up a little. some women can handle Braxton Hicks better than others. I'm just one of those who don't do very well with them Tylenol, lots of water and putting your feet up helps with the BH. it's about that time for you. so your body is preparing for labor.

@cubanmommy26,

I can handle pain pretty well. I have fibromyalgia and lupus its just something I wasn't expecting and I wasn't sure if I was going into labor. Also I carried in son groceries today and I shouldnt have carried them. So that scared me too. I dont like asking for help on things like that. I was on the phone with my grandma andbibhad to hang up on her. lol @misskaecolletto

I understand completely. lol Im only 29 weeks and the Braxton Hicks are just becoming a thing for me. when it first started for me I thought I was going into preterm labor until my boyfriend called and asked labor and delivery it was hurting so bad I couldn't even speak to them he had to explain it. once they heard tightening and crampin and that I'm on my third trimester they were like "Braxton Hicks. they can either get painful or just uncomfortable. have her do this this this" just try to relax, if it comes again just take some Tylenol and drink lots of water and keep them feet up! :) @cubanmommy26 you're doing great and it's completely a good thing that you were concerned because it shows you're aware of what's going on. unlike some people I know. they ignore stuff and it drives me wild to think that someone could just ignore some things when you don't expect it
