i`m 29 weeks and get braxton hicks several times a day. u might notice them more if u have a full bladder, have been in a position for a long time, or on your feet for a long time. for me the contractions have become more intense and last for up to like 40 seconds as opposed to little tightenings at around 16 weeks.

Yep. Tight tummy. Braxton Hicks.

I was about 26 weeks when I felt my first BH but some people can definitely feel them earlier. It sounds like it was probably a BH. Your tummy goes rock hard and very tight, almost like you`re trying to tense your tummy muscles. They don`t hurt but can feel quite uncomfortable some times as you get further into your pregnancy.

That is probably what it was. You are at the right stage to start getting them. I have them all the time.. No pain but gets tight

  1. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  2. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  3. Regarding Porn on Polls
  4. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  5. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  6. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  7. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  8. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  9. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  10. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
