What do Braxton Hicks feel like??

bethk - 1.6 hours ago
Hey Im from week 32 and saw midwife on Friday! I have been loads of Braxton Hicks for a while and they are VERY regular! Midwife sussed out its because Im doing too much and always busy! She said I need to start relaxin and not rushin round so much as that causes them! Oh plus drink plenty of fluids will help!! Im in the middle of moving soo thats where the stress coming from!! Sooo maybe just chill out and drink water hehe. They might ease up a bit but they normal, as I been having them since around 18weeks xx

First day In week 18. I have been feeling Alyssa Move a lot, and its getting harder! Is my uterus really supposed to be below my belly button? Because Its above it. I've only gained 2 lbs in the last 5 weeks.

Put this on your list of things not to do....do not spend hours on 'you tube' watching videos of births. I think that I changed my mind. Yikeskabee!!!

all you christian ladies out there, please be praying for my husband, Richard, he had a ct myelogram yesterday and got a spinal headache from it today, which i hear are the worst headaches u can get, i would hate to think that there could be any headache worse than a migraine, but please pray, I love my sweet hubby, I don't want him in pain! Thanks Ladies and God Bless!

Does anyone else feel huge! I was 109lbs before having kids i'm 5'3'. This is my third baby I started at 115 and am already 132. With my other pregnancies I hit 152. I have a subchorionic bleed so I am not able to exercise at all. I feel so much pent up stress, exercise was my out. I can't believe I am only half way. If I walk from one end of a mall to the other I get alot of pain and pressure down low. I feel so not myself. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining as I am thrilled to be prgnant, especially after a miscarriage late last year. I just felt so different with my two boys, I was much more energetic. I am just so uncomfortable already, maybe it's a girl!

My baby was so active last night! Those flutters are getting a bit stronger. I used to confuse the baby with gas but now I can definently tell the difference. I still can't see anything from the outside though. It is so amazing!

Hi all - This is my last day in week 18. I have 2 questions: 1) I worked out this morning (after a few weeks off) and my uterus got very tight - almost like a sustained contraction. It simmered down into light cramps for a while afterwards...Has anyone else experienced this?? No bleeding or anything - is it safe?? 2) I am making our summer plans and it looks like I will need to be on a plane for 3-4 trips (about once a month). Is flying so much o.k.? Is it safe? Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Congratulations on all those little boys on the way! :) Two more weeks till we find out ours--I can't wait!

kristinjazz - 1 days ago
Anyone here have a shorter than normal cervix or know anyone that does? Doc put me on high risk and is moitoring this...guess it takes away a little from the fact that we are having a boy!

babymamavh - 1 days ago
Check out my profile site and vote on my baby names please! We're running out of time and can't agree at all! Thanks

Bangel - 1 days ago
Had my u/s today....IT'S A BOY!! He wasn't cooperating at first, but the tech pushed and wiggled my belly and got him to swim all around and open his legs. lol. He's measuring 19 weeks and is 9oz.

mommyofoneandoneontheway - 1 days ago
It's a BOY! I am so excited! I just got back from my ultrasound and I can't believe it is a boy! I already have a daughter so this is absolutely amazing!!!

KarenVG - 1 days ago
befroe your ultrasound try and drink as much of the water at least half, an hour before and drink the rest on the way there, it does get really uncomfortable, you may want to put a pad in your undies just incase you leak on the way to the toilet after, it saves an embarressing moment. I told the tech during my last one I couldn't hold it any longer and she let me go and pee a little off but they only let you if you know you can stop yourself from peeing it all. hope that helps!

ShannonBeth - 1 days ago

BabyMomma1008 - 1 days ago
wow..I feel like I just got to week 18 and it's my last day here...I'm savoring this experience. I've been writing to the Beaner in a journal, so I don't forget any of this and so he/she knows what Mommy went through..I never thought I could feel the joy and love for a complete stranger the way I feel for my baby. I can't wait to get to know her/him...little personalty traits, quirks...will Beaner have mannerisms like me or Daddy? All the little things I'm already in awe of. I just can't wait to have those little fingers wrapped around mine. Cause I've already been wrapped around her little finger!! I'm so sappy sometimes....

hello ladies i had a gender scan 2day and i found out im having a little girl!!!

aanaka - 1 days ago
found this link if any of you are drinking caffeine like I am! From what I read up to 200 mg a day is safe during pregnancy. This site is great when i'm picking my sodas. I chose Barqs rootbeer so I won't feel bad when I have more then a couple in one day. Here is the link http://wilstar.net/caffeine.htm

I finally felt my flump kick last night at around midnight!! It was just a little poke but defo there!! YEAH!!! I can't wait now until they get strong enough for my daughter to feel, she's soo looking forward to it!

LC86 - 1 days ago
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! felt the first kicks from the OUTSIDE last night!! :)

Angiepangie - 1 days ago
If you know that drinking that much water and holding it is 'mission impossible' for you, then wait until right before the appt. I usually have to go 20 min. after drinking something, so I didn't even attempt that time frame! When they finally called me in(15 min. late) I was already too full and the tech. sent me to 'go' a bit.

tamara4843 - 1 days ago
We're having our first ultrasound next Wednesday, and my doctor told me I'm gonna have to drink a litre and a half of water an hour before the appointment!! Has anyone had any problems drinking so much water without having to run to the bathroom? I'm not sure I can make it to the hospital without bursting!!!

bobswife - 1 days ago
hey girlies.. hope evreyones fine as well as ure lil bubbahs. im startin 2 feel lil one kick ALOT recently and its such an amazing feeling. i think iv established a little bit of his/her sleeping pattern aswell. we find out the sex of bubbah in exactly 1 week, 5 days, 1 hour and 55 minutes lol.. me and bob cant wait... were hoping for a boy, but bubbah knows we will love him/her no matter what. aww last nite was a bit of a shock, my boobs started leaking this sticky cloudy liquid, i know its completley normal but i think iv scared my partner for life haha, i got him to taste it (im an extremeley inqusitive person lol) and he said it tasted warm and kind of sweet... are we strange?? im looking forward to going into week 19 with you ladies, WERE NEARLY HALF WAY THERE WOOP!! = ) ALL THE BEST.

hello ladies, I went to the dr. today, he said I do have complete placenta pervia. I have not started bleeding so he was suprised about that. I go back for an u/s in two weeks to find out if my placenta has moved up, but the dr. does not expect it to move up any. The baby has been very active so I am very happy about that. Well everyone keep me in ur prayers please.

tee34 - 2 days ago

BabyMomma1008 - 2 days ago
So, the Dr. sent me to the ER...it turns out I have a UTI..thank goodness..got IV fluids and antibiotic, they fed me nasty bland hospital food, and sent me on my way..RELIEF!!! I can sleep tonight. Apparently the pain was/ is from the infection. SO plenty of water and cranberry and a round of antibiotics and I'm back to me!

Navy0Wife - 2 days ago
I am having a horrible, no good, very bad day today. My husband is deploying on Monday. He will be gone for the rest of the pregnancy and the birth. Our family and friends are on the east coast and we are on the west coast. My Mom will not commit to being there for me. I am so worried, so scared...Please say prayers for me that I can keep it together. XOXO!

maggiemoo - 2 days ago
Went to the dr. today..my daughter has fifth's disease and wanted to make sure I don't have it. My doc says not to worry. Has anyone else had to worry about this?? When I was pregnant with my last child I never heard of this or not to eat cold lunch meat, tests for quad screens (which came back positve) etc... This drives me crazy!!!

ice-maiden - 2 days ago
I've actually brought myself 2 maternity outfits!!! about time too LOL. I feel sooo much more comfy than I did squeeeezing into my normal clothes! I'm sure my belly has come out more since I put on my new trousers... maybe its thinking YEAH MORE SPACE! LOL! I've past caring now whether I look fat or not, I'm just going to let it all hang out! LOL

sarahdiy - 2 days ago
is it normal to haven't have felt the baby kick yet? he's a little boy and his legs looked so strong, but i haven't felt anything and i am going into my 19th week!

BlueGirl - 2 days ago
My AFP came back negative!! It is such a load off of my mind. I have been getting quite a bit of streching/pulling pains @ night while I am trying to sleep. Mostly when I turn from side to side. Side sleeping sucks! I miss sleeping on my belly sooooooo much!

shelm2 - 2 days ago
I would say go for it as far as starting to purchase your baby things! I am buying like one or two things a week. I have bought some jammies and glass bottles, and of course, that super soft blue baby blanket. I prefer to do it this way because then I am well stocked by the time the baby gets here and I don't have to spend alot of money at one time. Girl we have almost made it to the half way point! You should really allow yourself to relax a little bit and enjoy yourself. That baby is happily growing in there whether you worry yourself sick or not, try to have some fun!

BabyMomma1008 - 2 days ago
I'm really nervous & trying to stay calm...this morning I felt like I was going to pass out (roo spinning, darkening, blurred vision) followed by some pretty severe cramps...I called the Dr. an hour and a half ago and left work to come home & put my feet up...still waiting, trying to be calm but I'm so scared...has anyone else experienced this?

mrskcich - 2 days ago
Hi ladies, 18 weeks tomorrow and I have a question for any of you. I am pregnant with my 4th but am experiencing some feelings that I don't remember having before. Are any of you having a popping feeling in the front of your belly? Every now and then when I am turning or lifting up my daughter I get this pop (usually to the right of my belly button). It's not painful really, just startles the heck out of me.

Megan the lump maker - 2 days ago
I never bought anything with my first. the baby shower covered it all. If you are planning on having one, try not to buy too much bc it is more than likely that you will get it then. I had to take back almost $2000 worth of stuff!

KarenVG - 2 days ago
I would start to buy a few things as it is pretty costly to get it all at the end, or just look for deals that would be too good to miss. I guess the alternative is to put the money you could spend away until a bit later but it depends if you are a good saver or not! LOL I got rid of my kids things too! after the first and the second, I was done after each one!!! Now here comes #3!!!

nikolajayneB - 2 days ago
Have any of you ladies started buying things yet or do you think it's a bit too soon? I had a bleed when i was around 7wks & it scared me. In the back of my mind i kept thinking that maybe it would happen again & next time i might not be quite so lucky! I wouldn't like to have lots of things lying around to remind me of what i'd lost! Now that i'm 18wks & only 2wks away from the half way point i'm starting to think that maybe it's ok now to start getting a few things. I can't help but keep having a little look in the shops & there are such lovely things out there. My youngest child is nearly 7 & i honestly never thought i'd have anymore so i got rid of absolutely everything. I'm gonna have to start again from scratch so i daren't leave it too late! Let me know what you think x

Hey ladies, its my last day at week 18, off to week 19!! Man is time zooming by for anyone else, I swear this girl is going to be here before I'm adequately prepared... LOL but are we ever really prepared for the arrival of our first, I'm scared out of my wits. Hugs and kisses to all. Kema

I'm the worlds worst house wife. I have waisted nearly a whole day just messing arround with this site, meeting people venting stress and also shopping for maternity cloths on ebay. But then after yesterday why not. I hurt my back a few weeks ago on top of which I am suffering with pubis sy thing (very painfull)I think that is causing me to loose my ballence as I have fallen over 3 times in as many days, but yesterday I twisted my ankle and today it is throbbing. So tht is my excuse. Good news is that bab has been wriggling like mad :-) I'm convinced it's another boy! I'll have to start my own sailing team.

Has anyone else had a slight jabbing pain in one or more breasts? I've had an odd pain in my right breast off and on this week. It pulses about 7 or 8 times and then goes away. It hurts, but it's not that bad. It seems to feel better if I hold my boob, which my husband gets a real kick out of. :)

island-momma - 2 days ago
has anyone been getting streching pains? I had them a few weeks ago and then they stopped, but yesterday they came back and then last night my belly button area was sore. I feel the slightest flutters sometimes but nothing regular. they seemed stronger last week, should i be worried?
