Sorry if in the wrong area.

I'm after a quick reply. My stomach has just gone completely solid. It lasted just over a minute it happened yesterday too and the day before. Now it don't hurt or feel uncomfortable I just notice as it goes hard.

Is this a Braxton hick?

Also I'm conceded as with Rowan I was 8th before I started to feel any sort of pain with contractions. And I don't want to be
Missing something important. So just wanted to check if maybe it's just a normal thing or is a Braxton hick

i had braxton hicks very early on hun about 20ish weeks, it definatly sounds like that xx

could well be hun, mine felt like a band around my tummy squeezing me (best way to describe it) the were uncomfortable by the time i got to 25 weeks and i had them from 12 weeks...nearer the end i had at least 15 per day xx

I had them really early on with lily too and it sounds just like it xx

Sounds lke it to me hon, got em much earlier with awen

Thank you . I just always think I should be in some sort of pain or discomfort but I never was with Rowan

they vary for different people hun, some people dont even feel them, some just feel a bit of tightness and some like myslef they are really uncomfy...all normal xx

sounds like them, i had them constantly with hollie especially in the evening time

i never had them, but if you started to get sore or anything i would give the mw a ring, if its happening just a few times a day you are probably fine though

i would say yes thats what they are, i had them alot earlier with my second and third pregnancy's xx

didnt have them with lillie only hollie/

they started about 23 weeks!! mine were like that just went spolid
but more towards the end it hurt and uncomfortable had them all day long, and regular few times thought oh crikey this is it!! but unill the real thing sarted knew it then hehe
(god forgot about that, not so broody now ha)
xx

LOL thanks EM. Seems pretty common then second time round.

It only really happens once a day. So I'm not too concerned now i've seen it is normal.

I just wonder what the hell i'm going to do if i get to 8cm again and still dont feel anything.

The only reason I knew I was in labor with Rowan was because I was told I was by the doctor, midwife and the machine!

spolid?!?! huh solid! one handed typing feeding hollie.

this one will fly out hehe, at least you wont have the hours of pain before hand!! A positive do you live far from hospital? x

no about a 5-10 min drive.

Em - Rowan has just seen your avatar and keeps waving at it.

hehe lillie does too, asks to see 'wave' or jos elmo

aw not too bad then, not a long trip if things did happen quickly.
