Late third tri girls...

Jami lynnJami lynn
in 3rd Trimester

Has everyone experienced BH? If you have when did they start? I've read they can start pretty early.... I haven't felt one single thing even close to a contraction.... although I am only 34 weeks...

just curious.

    I wouldn't say I'm "late" 3rd tri but I've had BH since about 28w. You may not even recognize that you're having them (if you are). Do you ever get a feeling of tightness that fades within 20-30 seconds or so?

    I didn't at all.  In fact, I felt my first contractions last night (at 40 weeks).  It all depends on what your body is doing...and mine is doing nothing, haha.

    I have had them since very early on and they were timeable at 28 weeks. I went in for monitoring but they turned out to just be an irritable uterus.  They are not very fun when you get them  all day long....

    I've had Braxton HIcks but no regular contractions.

    ?

    ?

    I'm not sure when I felt the first BH, but it kinda felt like a blood pressure cuff being lightly tightened around my belly.?

    Mine started at 28 weeks and got so bad that I had what's considered an irritable uterus and got put on meds to stop them.

    Nope. I havent felt a thing.... maybe some very light cramping now and then... but thats it.

    I think it really varies. I feel them at least twice a week and have been feeling them since week 26 or something like that. I def don't drink as much water as I should and I've been told that hydration plays a role.

    I started getting them early, maybe around 20 weeks or so? They have definitely gotten more uncomfortable as I've gotten further, but I wouldn't say painful.

    Sometimes they feel like the baby is just pressing really hard into my abdomen, my entire abdomen hardens up and stays that way for a minute or two.

    I'm considering myself a late 3rd tri-er.

    I've only experienced a small handful of NH (5 or less) but, I have been having real contractions for the past week.

    I am so glad to see I am not the only one with a odd body, Like you I just felt my first one on the "40 weeks" mark & since then I have maybe felt one a day
