Braxton Hicks are no joke...wow! I always thought they wasn't nothing but wow and ow!

this is my second pregnancy. first time with twins. I've been getting minor braxton Hicks the entire pregnantcy. there very uncomfortable. I know further along I get they'll start hurting. I definitely got them bad the last month with my first pregnantcy. I was back and fourth to the hospital all week before having real contractions. it was my first pregnantcy so I didn't really know what to expect. I read about it so many times, but it's nothing compared to actually feeling it. I was 40 weeks pregnant and decided to walk with my friend around her entire neighborhood. I didn't want to stop walking. I walked for 3 hours or so. after that, is when the braxton Hicks got me. omg it was so painful. hopefully if your full term you'll go into labor after a few days. the hospital gave me pain medicine during the times I was admitted. that's the only thing that's gonna help you, but for a short period of time. that pain will not let up till after you have your baby with pain medicine. you'll still have contractions for a week after having your baby. but nothing compared to this. these beautiful babies are so much worth every bit of pain.

@shannaa24, I hear ya girl. this is also my 2nd pregnancy *lil girl and I never experienced these with my son. So a lot of this stuff are a first for me. *Braxton Hicks, Extreme Nausea, Heart Burn. I'm 30w 2d and praying and hoping I make it full term... but your right totally worth all the pains 😊

didn't notice them till this pregnancy...my fourth and I feel them alot...it's crazy...

@happymama203, this pregnancy has been pretty different for me as well. they say every pregnancy is different. also the second pregnancy is heavier on your bladder. sometimes I wonder myself if I'll make it to 36 weeks for induction. I really hope so. I'm sure you will make it. all depends on your uterus and how well it can hold a baby.
