Braxton Hicks this early? Or?

Does your stomach/uterus randomly tighten up for a few seconds?

@juliaschade41 I've never felt anything like this before.

I first had mine at 16 weeks. Its normal. Just supposed to feel weird and uncomfortable that early on.@sammeeandbaby

@juliaschade41 it hurts lol.

@sammeeandbaby how badly? Does it feel like cramps?

@juliaschade41 not so bad. Just enough to where I feel it. There's no bleeding or anything. Just cramping.

@vanessagarcia it's like, a stomach ache that lasts for a few seconds.

@sammeeandbaby i think its okay. You should mention it to your doctor at least though. Just to keep them updated. Is it often everyday or just randomly here and there?

@juliaschade41 it just started happening when I posted that. Like maybe 30 minutes before

@sammeeandbaby if its just cramping its not a Braxton hick. Your stomach is supposed to tighten up and hard like a rock when its a braxton hick, and it lasts for seconds and then relieves itself.

@juliaschade41 that's kind of what it's like. I didn't touch my stomach when it happened.

@sammeeandbaby next time when it does, try to push down on your stomach. If its squishy, its not a hick. But if its hard like a rock, then it is.

@juliaschade41 okay, thank you.

They can be brought on by a few things, full bladder, dehydration, touching the stomach, different triggers... check the list online and drink a little extra water today
