so are Braxton hicks contractions supposed to make my chest feel tight as well? it literally feels…

hmm that doesn't sound right.. you should call labor and delivery to see what they think

Does it feel like you can't breathe? A lot of times when I get BH it knocks the wind out of me and makes it hard to breathe.

@jordydefrank, yeah it feels like someone sitting on my chest everytime which right now is pretty constant

I think I was having some the other night like that. I never had BH or contractions with my daughter but my whole stomach tightened up and my chest got real tight like it was being squeezed too. you are much farther along than I am though so yours might be contractions.

@irishtwinmom13, I'm really not sure either. with my 1st daughter I never had either so I'm completely cluless as to how either feel. I was in labor and didn't even know it with her :/

same here. well I was having back labor. they monitored me for my BP the day I had her and were like can you not tell you are contracting?! I was like really I am? Lol had no clue. wound up with a c section though cause she was breech. since you aren't sure I'd go in or call.

@irishtwinmom13, I will when my husband decides to get back. and I was the same way.. I went in for my 38 week apt and she checked my cervix and was like you don't feel anything? i said no? she said are you sure? I said yes....? like the look on her face was like I was crazy lol I felt nothing at all. and I was having them 4 to 5 mins apart and was alrdy 4cm. she thought I was nutty lol

Lol at least you dilated! I was completely closed, thick and a -2 station. they were 4-5 minutes apart also lol
