You’re so close nowYes definitely! It goes so quickly.
I’m hoping this is the thread Baby Raspberry makes his appearance
I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question but how do you know when you're having braxton hicks? Like, what do they feel like? I see people talk about them all the time but I don't really know what to look out for? Also, when do you start getting them?I’ve gone up a bracket!! 33-38 weeks The last option before full term scary!
The amount of braxton hicks I’ve been having recently is a joke, my life just feels like one big braxton hick atm I woke up for a wee at 4:30 and had one trying to get out of bed and got stuck I thought I was going to wet myself I didn’t fortunately. Now I can’t get back to sleep so I’ve accepted my fate that I’m up now for the rest of the the day
Their like false contractions! I started getting them when I was around 26 weeks but they were only the odd one every now and again but then they really ramped up when I got into my third trimester. My bump goes really hard one side and it feels more uncomfortable rather than an unbearable pain, and they ease after a couple minutes! I believe some women don’t even have them!!I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question but how do you know when you're having braxton hicks? Like, what do they feel like?

Did they offer to try and tell you? I know some places don’t. To be honest I feel like it could be on the individual. The woman at my 12 week scan had a “gender doesn’t mind attitude” so feel like she would not tell me. I already know from private scans but just want is all triple confirming ideallyOh I’ve officially moved up a tier
Had my 20 weeks scan today, but baby was a little rascal and was curled up the whole time so need to go back next week for some more checks. All fine otherwise, didn’t find out the gender, tried to sneak a look but honestly not got a clue what to look for!
Hope all goes well at the scans today, is anyone finding out 🩷?there’s a few of us with our 20 week scans today. so hope all goes well xx
Yes, she asked as soon as we went in if we already knew or if we wanted to know but we said keep it a surprise. I thought I could see a wee lump like a willy at some points but then other times I seen nothing so who knows, I’ve no idea what they’re looking at!Did they offer to try and tell you?

How many weeks are you now @yankydoo ? I don’t think we are far apartGood luck to those who have their 20 week scans today. How exciting!
I just had my booking appointment and got the date through for my 12 week scan in 3 weeks. I'm so excited so that I can hopefully tell people soon.
I'll be 9 weeks on Thursday. How about you?How many weeks are you now @yankydoo ? I don’t think we are far apart
I’m 32+5 and my braxton hicks have been crazy this week! Like they’re not painful and don’t last long but they take my breath away abit. When I get them i think about when the proper contractions will start and am like ‘aw tit I gotta do this again’I’ve gone up a bracket!! 33-38 weeks The last option before full term scary!
