@_thelittlefairywren I think BH may feel different for different people, and I also feel like they have changed over time for me. When I first noticed them around 24 weeks it was just a slight feeling of pressure, and I wouldn’t always be able to identify them without feeling my belly and feeling how hard my uterus was. Now I can’t really do that anymore, I assume just because my uterus is so large! For me they feel just like pressure, usually starting towards the bottom of my uterus and radiating up (although I have heard the opposite too). It isn’t painful, but it can be intense. It also often takes my breath away. Lately some have been intense enough that they sort of take my focus, but I can talk through them, walk with it if I have to. [name_m]Just[/name_m] in the last few days they have also been accompanied by a pressure that radiates into my lower back, but I still wouldn’t call them painful. They definitely are a bell shaped curve, and slowly increase to a peak and then come back down. When I was hooked up to the NST I did have a couple, and they did look like that typical bell curve shape on the tracing.
