They seem to be worse if I'm dehydrated or walk around a lot. They aren't painful but pretty uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316801 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 09:26:03 +0000 singingbee 1316801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I started feeling them in the mid-20's and on. I would really feel them when my kids were acting up at school and I had to walk a lot. There was one day I came into the cafeteria and I seriously thought I was going to have to go home. Luckily they stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316797 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 09:23:45 +0000 Pirouette 1316797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I started getting them around 37 weeks and had them frequently once they started.

The have verged on painful at some points but mainly just uncomfortable-annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316574 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 07:21:22 +0000 Ree723 1316574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any with LO, but now with baby #2, I am getting them all the time! I'm 35.5 weeks and they are definitely getting more uncomfortable, albeit not painful, and I've been getting them since around 24 weeks or so. </p> <p>I keep telling myself it means this baby is going to come early, but I think @HLK208: just burst that bubble :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316543 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 06:26:09 +0000 yin 1316543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't feel it with my first but had them frequently starting in my second trimester with my second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316498 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 05:17:54 +0000 tequiero21 1316498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, had a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316349 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 00:35:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 1316349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just had my very first one ever-weird!!

Belly just gets hard/tight for a short bit, not painful or uncomfortable in any way. Mostly happening when I stand up quickly or climb stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316254 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:40:44 +0000 HLK208 1316254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only with my second pregnancy. I had them from 20+ weeks and some were super uncomfortable. I was convinced she would come early since I always thought I was on the verge of labor so early but nope, she stayed out until 40 weeks when I was induced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316238 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:36:51 +0000 LovelyPlum 1316238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have yet, and I'm 26 weeks.</p> <p>I guess I should say, I don't think I've had any. I'm assuming I would know, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316216 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:31:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1316216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope didn't have any with charlie and olive. but when i went into labor with both, i pretty much knew right away. it happened pretty fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1316162 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 23:14:51 +0000 travelgirl1 1316162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had any. I had a C-section at 40 weeks and swear I never had a single BH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315943 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:25:18 +0000 Vegmama 1315943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had way more in the 2nd trimester. But yes, at 39 weeks, I'm still having them sporadically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315931 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:22:08 +0000 GrapeCrush 1315931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a handful with #1. I had BH multiple times a day for like 15 weeks with #2. Never went into labor with either (second was a scheduled csection though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315909 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:17:06 +0000 chopsuey 1315909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315907 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:16:05 +0000 Mamasig 1315907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315030 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:00:49 +0000 lilteacherbee 1315030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never had any </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315009 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:59:01 +0000 knittylady 1315009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so! They felt nothing at all like my "go time" contractions though. Just an uncomfortable tightening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315006 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:58:39 +0000 Bao 1315006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but much more with LO #1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braxton-hicks#post-1315000 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:58:06 +0000 swedishfish 1315000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of the time!
