The Braxton Hicks contractions
are sporadic uterine contractions that start about six weeks of pregnancy,
though you can not really feel it so soon. May not start to notice them until
sometimes in mid-pregnancy.
As pregnancy progresses, Braxton
Hicks contractions, which are not experienced by all women, become more common,
but until recent weeks become infrequent, irregular and almost painless.
Sometimes this kind of contractions are difficult to distinguish from the signs
of a birth premature.
By the time you only miss a few
weeks to the date of delivery, these contractions may become more intense and
more frequent, and can cause you great discomfort.
