Is it normal to have contractions in the 25th week of pregnancy?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 07/06/2023

In the twenty-fifth week of pregnancy, Braxton Hicks contractions may appear. These contractions are different from those that happen before giving birth, as they are irregular and do not increase in intensity.

The pregnant woman may feel a slight pain when her belly becomes hard, but it disappears after a short time.
