What do braxton hicks feel like and about when do they usually start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contractions: These are uterine cramps that are most similar to your period cramps. They are spasms of the uterus that are not rhythmic and dont cause cervical dilation. They start most often after 28-30 weeks but become common around 35 -37 weeks
