Dear Braxton Hicks

gigglebox · Mar 4th, 2012, 10:09 AM

for as much as you are contracting my uterus today, you better be effacing my cervix too! In fact, if this big baby doesn't come early I am going to be really upset with you for not effectively doing your job.

Ugh I know what you mean!

Dear Braxton Hicks,

Seriously you have been bugging me for two months now. It was 'cute' at first but now I want to find whoever invented you and do bad things to them. Maybe give it a rest for about 4-6 weeks and THEN pick back up when I may actually need you??

Sincerely,

Sick of the hard belly

UGH aren't they irritating?! I didn't mind before but it is quite the uncomfortable sensation!

grrr!

I don't think I've had any - what do they feel like? I've had sore tight pains in different bits of my belly that I rub to try and make them go away. Don't think that's them though? God, I'm clueless!!

i didn't start to get them until 30 weeks i-want-1-2. the best way i can describe them is my whole stomach goes ROCK hard which is really uncomfortable and feels like somebody is actually squeezing me hard!

Yeah...been plagued by them, feels like someone's wringing out your uterus like a wet cloth.

Braxton hicks just feel like your stomach tightening/getting hard. they should NOT be painful at all. Uncomfortable? yes. Not always, but yes..
