Do BH always come and go?

BEATOUBEATOU
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

For the past week or so, my stomach gets very tight like I've heard Braxton Hicks described. It's typically in the late afternoon/evening. What confuses me is that it will stay that way for 15-20 minutes before relaxing, and then will start all over again. Are those just really long Braxton Hicks, or something else all together? Thanks for your help!

    I would double check with your doc. My BH didn't last for 15-20 mn before relaxing. My stomach would stay tight for like 3 minutes or so and then relax. But everyone is different so I would call doc. Better safe than sorry.

    Your body is getting ready.  You will probably notice BH and cramping for the next couple of weeks until you deliver.  The good news about this is that you're probably dilating/effacing, which will make it easier when you do go into labor.

    Mine came and went for a few weeks, but only lasted a few min. I also experienced a lot of cramping in the last 4 weeks...I had my son 2 weeks early.....just keep a watch them and let the doc know.

    That's what I had and never knew if they were labor contrax.  I ended up being induced for favorable cervix.  I was 4cm on my due date.
