BH contraction question?

LuckyClover13 · May 2012

I am not sure if this is normal since I am a FTM but when I walk or stand I will notice that my belly tightens up. I kinda feel like where her head is feels harder and sticks out more on my belly. I don't know if this is a braxton hick contraction bc it stays tight without going away. It is not painful at all. And when I sit down my belly stops tightening up. I am 31 wks tomorrow and have been dilated a 1 cm since 26 wks and got checked at 29 wks and was still 1 cm. So is this BH contractions? Thanks for listening!

My belly does that too. If I am standing or walking for too long too I will start having contractions as well. Usually the braxton hicks will tighten your whole belly usually starting down low and then loosen up. My OB told me you will know when the 'real' contractions come because they will start up high. Just thought I would pass that on to ya!

I have painful braxton hicks already .. and I will be 30 weeks on Sunday with twins.

Yep. BH. I get them like that too...all day long! My doctor checked my cervix and everything was fine. He said to walk around (that's when I get them) and drink more water! I feel like I can't breathe when it happens because of how tight it gets.

Yup. It never fails. I work a desk job and EVERY time I get up to go pee..... here comes the BH! I still get them when I sit too.
