What do braxton hicks feel like? And is this them?

Well, ok, this is going to sound dumb

I've had some pain, well its not quite pain, just uncomfortable... a little like period pain but they're not really crampy, its more like a dull achey pain accompanied by some squeezing... The squeezing is different to cramps though... It kind of comes on suddenly, and will go away in time if I move and find a different position. It doesn't really change or get worse over time, it just comes on suddenly and stays the same until it goes away, which is usually about 5 minutes... someitmes I get another pain within 20 minutes, but I've never had more than 2 in a row...(this is very hard to explain!)

The one thing that makes me wonder if its BHs is because its like the pains I get after I have an orgasm ( sorry TMI!)...

Anyway, I've had the growing cramps/pulls, and I'm not sure if this is just a different type of growing cramp, or am I getting BHs? Is that normal so early on? My bbs are making colostrum already, I don't know if thats anything significant but I just thought I'd mention it.

Oh and :P its not gas either, for those of you who are like Shel and attribute everything to gas lol

Ok, so I'm just wondering if this is BHs? Or just a new and wonderful pain?

And for future reference what ARE BHs like?

ETA: Forgot to mention, i get a kind of lightening bolt while the squeezy achey pain is there that goes from my bellybutton right down to my bits, which can be a bit painful!!!!
