Wanted to introduce myself and ask one small Q

hey there everyone! just wanted to introduce myself! My name is Jessica and i am a mother of 2 girls... 5 & 3. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with twins. Just love to talk to people in the same situation! i do have one question though.....how many of u are feeling braxton hicks contractions continuously? I feel them all day long. they are quite annoying. i dont remember feeling them this early with my other two children. Well....hope everyone is doing well and hope to read lots of stories!!!!!

 

Congrats and welcome!! I've had a few BH here and there but not continuously. Have you talked to your DR about it? It's been so long since I was pregnant before that I barely remember what it feels like. Sometimes I have to try and decide if it's stretching /round ligament pain or BH. I figure the tightening ones have to be BH. I'd double check with your doc. Congrats again!

 

:wavey: Jessica and Welcome to Twinstuff!!! Congratulations on your twins! :banana:

As for the braxton hicks, have you called your doctor? If anything, he/she can put your mind at ease. I did start getting them around 25 weeks but they weren't happening all day long. Mainly when I was really tired, dehydrated or going up stairs. My OB said that I should call them if I was getting more then six in one hour. I hope they go away for you, they definately are annoying. :hug99:

 

Hi Jessica, Welcome to Twinstuff! :sign0016: Congrats on your twins. I never had BH with any of my pregnancies, so I can't help you with that. But it might not hurt to call your OB just to ease your mind. :hug99:

 

:sign0016: Jessica!!!
I agree to just check w/ your Dr. ~ My BH's started mid-pregnancy & it was definitely when I overexerted myself (cleaning, walking for too long, stairs etc) or wasn't getting enough fluids.
Congrats on your twins, come back & let us know how you are doing!!

 

:wavey: WELCOME!!!! and CONGRATS!!!

I can tell you I get them only if Im dehydrated or REALLY active. Best advise all the others have given is to call your DR.

Congrats again! And GOOD LUCK!!

 

Hi Jessica! Welcome to TS and Congratulations on your Twin Pregnancy!
