Nope, bowels are nice and regular Although I'm not really sure you needed to know that LOL Since I'm eating us out of house and home at the moment, I try and cram in as much fruit and natural fibre as possible, and am drinking almost 2L of water a day.

My midwife was away, but I spoke to her backup midwife about it, and she said it was entirely possible that's what they were by how I described them. They lasted just shy of an hour, and apart from feeling a bit tired, nothing else is out of place.]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2006 19:26:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1678&PID=30867&title=braxton-hicks-take-two#30867 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1678&PID=30864&title=braxton-hicks-take-two#30864 Author: pixeldust

If they aren't Braxton Hicks, it might be your bowels? I had vague stomach cramping for the first few months which I thought were BH, but it turned out I was just a bit blocked up. I increased my fruit/vege/water intake and it went away by itself.]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2006 19:00:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1678&PID=30864&title=braxton-hicks-take-two#30864 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1678&PID=30795&title=braxton-hicks-take-two#30795 Author: jax

Is it possible to have these early ?? I know they usually start for most people around 28wks... but I am pretty sure I'm having them now !! And I know it's not gas, that's a different feeling altogether. It's not painful, just bl**dy uncomfortable !! I was due to do some outbound calls for work but had to beg off because I couldn't focus I know it's nothing to worry about but arrrrrrrrrrrgh... why me and why now ??]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2006 14:57:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1678&PID=30786&title=braxton-hicks-take-two#30786
