Yes I get Braxton's early to, but at about 30-32 weeks I start with a stronger lower contraction myself and begin feeling pressure. My babies always drop halfway down shortly after and sit there making like near unbearable. If I exercise, they intensify to the point I have to catch my breath and they quicken a great deal too. You will have to be very careful as this is an early sign of pre-term labor which I actually completely went into with our first at 29 weeks. I ended up in the hospital for 4 days and beadrest afterwards. Listen to your body and slow down when when they get going too strong. For the record I have had 3 early babies even though one was only one day early so be prepared. But, if you watch it you can hold off full labor for 8 weeks easily if you want to!Cottle Clan Dobermanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791820035551456491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706228562873668290.post-42973941800543138132008-02-20T07:47:00.000-06:002008-02-20T07:47:00.000-06:00Yes I've been having Braxton-Hicks contractions si...Yes I've been having Braxton-Hicks contractions since I was 15 weeks, but these are different. These are the lower uterine contractions that I usually don't have until the last 3-4 weeks. And they get stronger when I'm exercising and in the evenings. Weird, huh?Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664895690600282835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706228562873668290.post-51473881794540386092008-02-19T22:07:00.000-06:002008-02-19T22:07:00.000-06:00Everyone is different, but during my fourth pregna...Everyone is different, but during my fourth pregnancy, I had a lot of Braxton-Hicks contractions from the third month on. Those contractions changed to much stronger contractions during the last month. The night of my due date, I had the first of two nights of VERY painful contractions 45 minutes or so apart, and then in the morning they'd completely stop for the entire day. Mandy was born three days after my due date. It was frustrating - I was SO anxious to get it over with!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333649634860097414noreply@blogger.com
