How Does Braxton Hicks Feel Like?

35 weeks now and have read about braxton hicks. However I don't seem to experience or recognise them? How does it feel like? Is it normal to not experience it yet at 35 weeks?

I am week 35 too. I'm having this tightening feeling in my tummy. Wanted to know if it's Braxton Hicks and all I see is Filipinos spamming in Tagalog 🙄 Please guys, if question posted in English take your Tagalog answers somewhere else.

Every mummy will have different experiences and not all will experience braxton hicks. I only have this for my 2nd child whc at first i thought i was already in labour. Little did i know it was just braxton hicks. Mind u, he gave me 2 false alarms. The feeling is tightening around waist area that comes with back pain, lower pelvic pain (for me, i had pain front and back) just like normal labour pain. But braxton hicks pain is not close to each other and will go away. Real labour pain will come in every 2-3 mins interval and very very strong. I gave birth to my boys at 39w, both of them 1st boy no braxton hicks, only 2nd boy at week 37 and week 38

Braxton hicks are irregular and infrequent contractions. It does not last long. It makes you feel uncomfortable because of the tightening of your uterine muscles that makes our tummy to become very hard. Braxton hicks contractions subside when you change your position. Hmm I think it usually last for few seconds to minute. Compared to true labor it has regular contractions and the pain grows stronger. The pain wont subside even if you change your position. Some first time moms do not recognize braxton hicks at all, you might feel it more often as you come closer to your due date. Take care mommy. 😊

I was 35 wks exactly last thursday and was admitted because according to my OB i was in preterm labor due to contractions detected during NST.. But i never felt pain during those "contractions".. Though on the other side, i was diagnosed with complicated UTI and had my cervix dilated at 1cm kaya aun naadmit tlaga.. But for those "contractions" i really insisted that its just false labor.. Saklap lang laki ng bill ko di pa man din nakalabas si baby 🙄

I'm having BH tightening since before week 28 till now. Yes, it's an uncomfortable moments and it is also a type of contractions in medical term. if you speak to your Dr. They might want you to admit you in the hospital to have detailed checks to confirm if it's a false contractions and some say actual labor pain has many symptoms too other than this BH.
