when did you start feeling BH contractions, and what do they feel like?

@mommabearkelsea your welcome

@mommabearkelsea I'm a first-time mom as well I just do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions and I have lots of friends who are moms

@reyesmomma, thank you!!! i just wanna make sure i know what they are if/when i get them. ive felt like ablight cramping in my lower abdomen crotch area kinda for a short amount of time and then it went away, ive felt it like twice so far. so idk if that could have been bh or just pressure from baby cuz my doctor said baby is head down. so idk. im a ftm and just curious and nervous.

@mommabearkelsea they say real contractions you can't really speak normally through them if at all. I just looked at your page and it said you're about 30 weeks pregnant so you're probably experiencing some Braxton Hicks. But if you do have any questions you can always ask your doctor and describe what you're feeling and ask their opinion. Also if you do get another ultrasound the ultrasound will pick up on the contractions Braxton Hicks or otherwise

and to be honest I wasn't even noticing them for a while until about 30 weeks

how will i k ow its a BH contraction tho??

I was talking to my doctor about this today she says it feels different for everyone. mine personally feel more like and uncomfortable wave from top to bottom. some people describe them as cramping. While others describe it as a tightening of the stomach. some people think they're painful some people think they're uncomfortable some people don't even notice.

Mine don't hurt, just uncomfortable. I can feel my uterus & stomach tighten, but no pain

Strong cramps
