Do you like the feeling of Braxton Hicks?

I have been getting BH for a good few weeks now, mostly evenings, im now 36 weeks pregnant. I actually like the feeling when my tummy gets tight and pulls but have started to also get some discomfort / mild pains at the same time as the BH.

Does anyone else like the feeling of BH? I find it gives me some relief, sort of taking the weight of the baby

    I wish I could say I liked the feeling of BH contractions as I get them constantly ... but, I do not. For me they are quite bad cramps ... though, nothing like I experienced in labor.

    However, I know at the end of my pregnancy with my son I did like feeling Braxton Hicks because it always gave me hope it may be the beginning of labor! Actually, at the beginning of my labor with my son I did think I was getting Braxton Hicks.

  • I think the only thing that I like about BH is the fact that they prepare my body for the official "labor day". I;m so ready to meet my baby boy that sometimes BH can be a little annoying if mistaken for real labor pains.

    Nope

    I had painful Braxton Hicks for a few weeks before my delivery

    Sometimes I couldn't even walk threw them, but contrary to popular belief I was never in false labour and I didn't have any complications.

    I do not enjoy them, no. They're kind of uncomfortable. I think I dislike them because the come at the most inconvenient times.

    Well they didn't bother me too much but I didn't love them.
