Is it supposed to be like this?

Ive never had Braxton Hicks before, not once my entire pregnancy. Well this morning I started cramping and I posted about it and everyone told me that it wsa probably Braxton Hicks, good to know!

But im still cramping, ive been cramping this entire day since about8:00 this morning till now at 2:20pm. Just constant steady cramps, some that really hurt an some that just mildly hurt.

So with Braxton Hicks do they last ALL day long? LOL as long as its normal Im cool with, but I was just checking!

Thanks!

i don't feel my BH but i know i get them. where is the cramping? is your tummy getting hard while you feel the cramping?

Braxton hix usually dont hurt, but they can happen anytime durning the day. Lately mine have been coming all day randomely. But just keep an eye on them just in case they are real contractions.

Quoting USMCBabyOnTheWay:“ i don't feel my BH but i know i get them. where is the cramping? is your tummy getting hard while you feel the cramping?”

This morning they were in my LOWER tummy liek where a period cramp would be but now they are moving up and hurting closer to my belly button.
And I actually dont feel any tightening or herdening...just sharp needle pains that come and go.

They last a long time when I do have them..like a few minutes, I swear i cramped for 10 minutes straigh earlier. and im getting them often for the most part but then sometimes they stay away for 20 minutes or more.

LOL I wish I had already had BH contractions so I would have something to go buy. Im practically in the dark here!

For some reason I dont think they are real contractions, I feel like they are too sparatic and weird. But hell what do I know...ive never done this before.

BH are usually just tightening and hardening of the belly mostly in the lower middle part. contractions are cramping and they will radiate around the lower part of the belly up to your belly button and to the back. I had BH all the time and they felt different then real contractions. BH just would tighten I wouldnt move for a minute and then they would go away and come back throught the day. but real contractions get worse with walking and moving around.

maybe you should call your doctor because if they were any type of contractions your stomach would get hard...very hard
