Pregnant after IF

Anyone NOT having BH?

Unless I'm just absolutely oblivious to them, I've made it almost to 33 weeks and havent felt any BH. Anytime my abdomen gets hard in an area it feels lile butt or some other body part pushing, not a contraction. I feel like my doctor doesnt believe me when I say I havent had any :/ anyone else in third tri and not having BH??

Re: Anyone NOT having BH?

  • I don't think I am, or at least I'm not sure..I have had the hard feeling but like you said I feel like it's the baby pushing out not really at BH. I have quite a few friends who never have had or at least been aware of any BH's.

  • I was the same way! Either I didn't feel them or they were not happening. I think they only started happening (or I just started feeling them) this week. I will randomly have tightening throughout the day and my whole belly gets hard. I told my doctor that I guess I'm feeling them this week, but I kept thinking they would be more intense.

  • I've never been aware of having one so far. I'm starting to think that maybe I'm just too oblivious.

  • I thought they that it was the baby pushing in that area but the Dr informed me that they are actually braxton hicks. They don't hurt at all and are just a tightening feeling. I think I started getting them around 32ish weeks, or at least noticed them around then. 

    Even during my NST I didn't even know I had contrax! I didn't even feel any when I was in L&D. lol.

  • I didn't feel them with Brady until the very end. Trust me you are having them though. My peri said they are mostly at night when you are sleeping.  :)

    I was the same way.  I kept thinking it was the baby pushing hard b/c he's starting to run out of room, but the doctor said it was actually BH.  Sometimes its just on one side which is really odd.  If they didn't tell me they were BH, I wouldn't have known since they weren't what I expected.

    TTC since April 2009 dx = PCOS; TTC History for DS - A FET miracle after 7 IUIs; 2 fresh transfers, and 1 other FET resulted in BFNs. Hoping and Praying for baby #2: Cycle 1 - FET; November 2012 BFN Next Steps - who knows? Lilypie Second Birthday tickers
  • Yep, not having any. I may be completely clueless though. I feel the pushing like you describe, but that's definitely baby.

  • I was having a bunch around 28 weeks but they stopped. Even on my NSTs I don't have a single one.

  • I started getting them at 30 weeks.  I, too, thought it was just the babies getting into a fetal position and bunching up in that certain area, but it turns out they were BH.  They are not painful at all.

  • Me too!  Most times when I feel my abdomen getting harder, it's usually because I have to pee... lol!!

  • I didn't have any either. The first time I actually had contractions was right before he was born. I started contracting Monday evening and he was born on weds at 1 in tr morning.
