Braxton Hicks

Hello Ladies,

I'll be 30 weeks on Saturday, did anyone ever have really frequent/strong braxton hicks contractions at 30 weeks? They don't hurt, it's just that my stomach gets super super tight. It's uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt. Is this normal.  By the way I'm high risk as well......


Thanks

I have heard of BH by 30 wks but to be on the safe side: Make sure it is irregular and let your dr know. Give em a call and just let them know what you are feeling.

As far As i have read and from what my Dr says it's normal...I have been having what I think is Braxton Hicks since about week 24.  Dr says it happens she says just to make sure I don't have more than 4 an hour.  It seems to happen most often when I excercise.  If I go on a long walk I will have them more frequently...not much pain my tummy just gets real tight....liked a stretched out drum!!

I think its pretty normal. Now, if they were painful or you could clock or time them, then that is not normal. But, anything that feels like uterine or period cramps that are mild-ishis more or less normal. However, you know your body best, and I always say to err on the side of caution. If you would feel better going to the doctor, then go. I've gone in for a million reasons - some turned out to be nothing, some turned out to be serious. At the very least,  you'll feel better! :-)
