Description from the creator

Braxton Hicks contractions are false, "practice" or uterus conditioning labor pains that occur before actual labor begins. They're true contractions that occur when the uterus tightens as a result of the hormone oxytocin; however, they're not strong enough to initiate labor. They're a perfectly normal part of pregnancy and can begin to occur as early as the second trimester, although they usually occur more commonly in the third trimester of your pregnancy; also, not every pregnant woman will experience them.
