I get menstrual like cramping at least once a day, is this Braxton Hicks?

Question

This is my second pregnancy and I know they're all different, so I just want to know if this might be Braxton Hicks, at almost 25 weeks pregnant.

Answer 1

I had the same thing when I was pregnant.  I asked my obgyn and she said that is what it was.  They felt just like period cramps though.

Answer 2

Could also be dehydration. I had a big problem with that that last two months of my pregnancy. And had those kinds of cramps.

Answer 3

It sounds like it cold be but Braxton Hicks are usually in the last month.  Check with your doctor they may let you know what it is.  It may be the position of the baby.

Answer 4

When I was pregnant with my second son in 2006-07 I started Braxton Hicks around 22 weeks up until the end and ya know what I still had to be induced b/c he was 8 days late!! My last pregnancy 2007-08 I started my Braxton Hicks around 25/27 weeks & they were a little more uncomfortable than with my second son. It is totally normal to have them this early & it sucks!! Just think of it as "practice" and try to take it easy if they get too painful. My last little boy gave me a run for my money he was only 2 days short of being right on time! Which amazed me since he was my third! Good Luck!

Answer 5

I had the same thing when I was 5 months pregnant with my 1st son. And well I was having cramping.. then it turned into pain in my side and I thought I was having a kidney infection..(i get them all the time) BUT.. i went to the dr. and soon as I pee'd in a cup they knew something was wrong.. I was dehydrated.. I ended up being hooked up to 2 IVS and 104 fever..  I would be careful and drink alot of water. me i drink flavored water or gatorad I CANT STAND WATER.lol..

I would ask a dr though.. My cousin is due dec2nd..and she just was in the hospital for having contractions already..
