I've been having what feel's like Braxton Hicks on and off all day, There not regular or painful but lasting around 25-30 Seconds. Just the tightening of the tummy and some discomfort.
Is anyone else going through this?
How long do your's last?
When did they start?
Will they continue in till the end of pregnancy now?
Is this anything to be concerned about since I'm only 25 weeks?

Totally normal and the more pg you have, the sooner they start. With my last three pg I had them almost immediately and lasted through the entire pregnancy.

It's always best to speak with your doctor of course but I wouldn't worry or panic. :)

Oh yes mine started at 25 weeks and continue to happen every evening until I sleep. Doctor tells me it's normal and some people get them as early as 21 weeks and as Atomic said you feel them more and earlier with more pregnancies

Me too! Mine were super annoying even more with ds 2! I swear they started at 18 wks with him! I didn't even know I was in actual labour as I just slowly eased into it for weeks!! I got worried to but they never led to anything and were extremely strong!! So I think you'll be fine... Just really irritated;)
