Braxton Hicks contraction How'd they feel for you?

Mine were also like tightening, it would almost feel like my belly was 'drawing up' for want of a better description, and it would go quite hard and tight. DH used to be able to feel the difference, they were never too uncomfortable, just enough to know it was happening. Some days I'd have lots, and then sometimes a break for a few days or maybe just one or two.

Mine have been just like this too - I never had any with my first pregnancy.

mine are a hard, rock-like tightening of the entire belly that radiates around the lower back. like beema mentioned they can happen for me at ANY time; whether i am sitting/lying/walking etc. very different to last time i must say! (only started to have mild BH around the 35 week mark). my BH started this time around 17-18 weeks.
