is it normal that my stomach gets hard and the baby moves a lot? this doesn't mean that i'm going in…

Maybe Braxton hicks? I had to get induced and when I felt it I wasn't focused on all that so I honestly couldn't say. Maybe go in if it happens 5 min apart

@theylove_fani, if what happens every five minutes exactly ? i feel him constantly moving for over 7 mins or so.

I'm almost positive that's the intervals. I'm not sure on the 7 minutes thing I think it's a little over a minute and then you get a 5 min break and that happens in a loop until it's intensified and that's how you would know it's labor.

Probably just bh if they are not painful. i started getting mine around 30 weeks.

@lovemylittlefamily, what's bh?

@theylove_fani ok thank you! i will pay attention to that!

braxton hicks.

it's Braxton hicks, totally normal 🙂

Super normal !!! Baby getting for labor practice contractions but you will know when they are the real ones.

Girl if it was labor you would know. I would always be scared with braxton hicks thinking it was labor. I hd them every 5 mins for like 4 hours one time and it went away. Then one day I really went into labor and there was nooo mistaking it! You can always call labor and delivery if you are unsure. The nurses are there to answer any questions you have. ☺️

@savvylynn1, @yesenia13 so that's what it is! so that doesn't mean i'm going into labor early or anything ? lol ugh i'm having so much back pain!

I started my BH at 25 weeks . I had her at 37 weeks, you may go early, but not too early.. As you get closer the worse & more constant that the BH get. @vanessarazo

If you drink water, walk or lay down they should stop .

@yesenia13 lol that sounds scary! it's been happening for a couple days. it gets so uncomfortable! 🙁

@yourmodernmomma thank you love! that's how i am rn non stop i get tired of it

I know it gets super scary. But only worry when they start to hurt.

no it doesn't mean you're gonna go into labor early, I've been having them since I was about 25 weeks, it just prepares your body & helps! I'm already dilating now that it's my time for my son to come! but if they become regular, then worry. :) @vanessarazo

I've been having contractions these past few days, last night I woke up every 40 ish minutes with cramping and my hard stomach & really bad back pain. but they aren't consistent enough!
