Скачать или смотреть Did you get any Braxton Hicks? What do yours feel like?

I kept thinking I was just getting a stitch while walking with my first pregnancy, later realizing that my entire belly was tight.
They’ve started a lot earlier this time around, more often in the evening or with activity and like to last quite a while I’m active until I can sit down.

These little squeezes usually start in the second or third trimester and can catch you off guard. They're usually:
🌀 Irregular⏱ Short-lived🚫 Not painful (just uncomfortable and tiring)🧘🏽‍♀️ Often go away with rest, water, or a change in position

Common triggers for Braxton Hicks include:
1. Physical Activity
2. Full Bladder
3. Dehydration
4. Touching or pressing on the belly
5. Baby’s movement
6. Sex or Orgasm
7. Stress or Anxiety
8. Tiredness or overdoing it

Totally normal and your body’s way of prepping for the real deal. But if they start getting rhythmic, longer, stronger, closer together, or painful — call your care provider. Trust your gut, always 💛
