Braxton Hicks question

MustangRaven

When will that normally start?

I came home from work and been laying on the couch. When I stand up I feel like alot of pressue in my lower abdomen like the babies are just being held in by my cervix. Now just laying on the couch I can feel my uterus twitching not painful but 5-10 seconds of tighting and than releasing..

If it gets worse I'll go to the ER right now unless I stand up i'm not in pain and no spotting or bleeding.

I've been having them on and off since about 17 weeks. They are really random and not timeable so the doctor isn't worried.

Mine started around 17 weeks.

I noticed them this time around at about 16 wks. but most days I don't notice any while other days I have several throughout the day. Just make sure you're well hydrated and lie down to rest if you notice a lot.

Thank you!

I remember having this feeling at about 21 weeks... I honestly felt like if I went to the bathroom I might deliver my babies in the toilet (Might have had something to do with having just watched the episode of I didn't know I was pregnant where she does the same thing) Everything turned out to be fine, but trust your instinct, if you feel like something is wrong go to L&D, the nurses are usually really glad that you come in to get checked out.
