BH contractions...

lulugirl

I have been having these for a few weeks (yep - those who said it was not the babies flipping by BH contractions were right).

Maybe I don't remember from my pregnancy with DD but let me know if these sound like classic BH's. I can feel them coming - slow and building up. Then my belly gets all tight and I actually breathe a little faster.

I am not sure if it is b/c I am having twins this time but although they are not timable, they do seem to hurt a little bit and I breathe through them. I am not getting more than 4 per hour (I am trying to keep track) but I just feel like I am more aware of them than I was the first go around...

Mine are not exactly like that, but they are WAY different than I had with DS.  This time around I started getting them at like 12 weeks (not till 20 weeks with DS) and they would last for like 5-7 mins sometimes, even laying in bed.  It was really freaking me out.

My OB said everything was fine and that it was likely also my uterus stretching.  If they did start to become crampy and painful or I had any other symptoms that did not go away after resting, to call.

So far they have just been a little uncomfy, so I'm trying to drink as much water as I can and rest as much as I can.  I definitly get fewer on the days where I drink a TON of water and have my feet up.

Sounds like a BH to me.  I don't breathe faster, I actually breathe slower.  I wouldn't say they're a little "painful" but they're SUPER uncomfortable.  I do the whole in through the nose and out through the mouth.
