| Braxton Hicks contractions |
John Braxton Hicks was a British gynecologist (1823-1897) who first described these contractions in 1872. Braxton Hicks contractions are intermittent painless uterine contractions that may occur every 10 to 20 minutes. They occur after the third month of pregnancy. These contractions are not true labor pains but are often interpreted as such. They are not present in every pregnancy. AKA Hicks sign.
