Hi all,

I am very pregnant with my 4th child at the moment. I've not experienced Braxton Hicks before, and I am told that it is normal for me to feel them. (Note: I don't have menstrual cramps when menstruating).

The issue is that I don't know if what I am feeling is Braxton Hicks or... washroom pains, LOL!!

At least 1x per week, I feel a tightening of the belly and actually feel as though I am going through contractions. I count, breathe and time them too! I experience about 3-4 of these (they last 1 min) and are about 1 min apart... the thing is that immediately afterwards, I need to go to the washroom to do #2.

Has anyone else gone through this?
