I had these with Tyler but didn't know what they were until the dr told me I was having one lol I thought it was just him pushing his head out against me,



well Ive noticed them today with this one but they seem to go on for ages... like a contraction for say 1 minute (it prob isn't that long... Ive not actually counted) and they go on for like 30 mins and then stop... or if I get up and do something they stop.



Is that normal?

keep an eye on it hun. I THINK they are braxton hicks if they stop when doing jobs etc...as if they were contractions they wouldn't stop iykwim??
hope they cool off soon hun xx

yeah they are good ol' braxton hicks lovely

I never had any with Caitlin so im not sure what they feel like. Even in labour all my pains were in my back and thighs - didnt even feel my tummy tightening.

I'l be shocked if I get them this time as iv convinced myself my tummy muscles are weird and not connected to my womb at all lol! I think they more common 2nd time round but. Oh and after pains - dont remember them with Caitlin but my SMIL told me you get them 2nd time round and they quite uncomfy for a while!
