I'm 29 weeks and get the same. It probably isn't Braxton Hicks, more likely to be ligaments stretching and muscles moving.
yeah, id say its just things growing or baby on nerves or something as i used to get little pains.
I'm 35weeks and 4days gone now, it;s my 1st so not exactly sure what 'braxton hicks' feels like but im sure i haven't had any yet.
Lately ive been getting slight period type pains, nothing major and doesnt last long.
Ive heard that with 'braxton hicks' u get a tightening of the stomach, like practice contractions.
Anyways, hope everything goes well for you ;) x
What's Braxton Hicks? x
Hello! My first is nearly five months old now and reading your thread made me remember thinking the same at about the same time. Braxton-Hicks are a strange feeling, your abdomen gets really hard all over. If you feel the difference between prodding your cheek and prodding your forehead it's sort of like that. I also got a lot of period-type pains sort of from my hip bones down towards my pubic bone - this was caused by ligaments etc, and intensified as the head engaged round about week 32 for me. Hope this helps - happy pregnancy!
