I am 33 weeks pregnant, i havent had any complications so far and everything is going well. I was in class and i felt alot of pressure on my lower belly. like someone was pressing down with thier hand. Then i had hot flashes and everything was uncomfrorable. It lasted for about a min or so and my teacher noticed my pain and ask what was wrong, she said i was having a contraction, not that i was going into labor right now but my body was preparing myself for it. they came a few times yesterday and i can tell my baby is alot lower than he used to be..i also had ALOT of back pain yesterday which i never have. So i was just curious to what actually happend. I didnt see that hot flashes were apart of braxton hicks..but i def had them! :-) thats all! thank u!

The "hot flash" could have just been your body's reaction to the stress it was experiencing. Braxton Hicks contractions do not progress like labor contractions- there is no rhyme or reason, no pattern, they do increase in intensity, etc.

Could of been some Braxton Hicks, but you are in the home stretch of your pregnancy too. Which is why the baby has dropped, and probably started turning head down. Which would give you the back pain you described. From my experience, first kids are usually early so get ready for your roller coaster ride and good luck.

Sometimes Braxton hicks and the real thing are hard to differ! Could just be early labor pains. EVeryone's body prepares for labor differently. You're in the home stretch and your body is definetly getting ready!!

I HAD BRAXTON HICKS FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS OFF AND ON TILL MY DELIVERY..... I WAS 2 WEEKS LATE.... TO ME THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THEY SOUND....THE BABY IS ALMOST READY....ONCE THEY DROP DOWN AND FACE DOWN IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.....TIME THE PAINS IN BETWEEN EACH ONE.....IF THEY GO 3-4 MINUTES APART NON STOP U R IN LABOR!!!!! FINALLY!!!!

the hot flashes just seem like how your body is reacting to he stress but i think everything will be fine b/c what you are going through is normal. good luck and congrats!
