The whole uterus will feel like it's tightening, not just part of it. And a lot of times, mine would be triggered if I used my core in any way. So, from what you'er describing, they might be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-braxton-hicks#post-52775 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:19:30 +0000 pastemoo 52775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>could be? no clue. I get that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-braxton-hicks#post-52774 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:17:40 +0000 winniebee 52774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamadopt: Good point! I'm pretty good about keeping hydrated. I mostly notice it if I have been running around or on my feet all day. I did notice it when jogging recently so stopped jogging until I could ask my OB about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-braxton-hicks#post-52773 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:15:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 52773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be. Do make sure that you are drinking enough water though, because sometimes that tightening can be a sign of dehydration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-braxton-hicks#post-52772 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:10:27 +0000 winniebee 52772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past few weeks, once in a while (mostly at the end of a long day and mostly when I'm walking) I feel a little tightening in my lower uterus. Nothing painful at all....just a little tight. Do we think this is Braxton Hicks? I'm 21 weeks. </p>
