    Mine feel just like my belly goes really tight, then relaxes a few minutes later. Always leaves me needing to pee & I do have to stop through them, but they don't hurt.

    Belly goes hard like a rock, then releases and the baby kicks me furiously as if to say "what the hell was THAT for"

    mine are just the feeling of my stomach tighening and rising up. They never hurt but its a bit awkward to move around. If i'm walking i have to slow right down and wait till they ease off. If im laying back when it happens i can look at my belly and see it chaning shape...it looks a little egg shaped during the contraction.

    For me my whole tummy goes rock hard and it can stay that way for up to a couple of hours with no release, with DD is started at 22 weeks and generally if I was out in the city on a Friday night it happened everytime but with this pregnancy it started 6 weeks earlier at 16 weeks and would even happen while I was sitting down resting or in bed at night.

    Same as the others, mine feel like my stomach is sooo tight as if the baby is pushing her entire body against my stomach and trying to get out that way. Mine come and go but my tummy is as hard as a rock and often strangely shaped during this time.

    Don't know if they are BH because I didn't get any with my DS but are they period pain like cramps that go with the tightning feelings cause that's what im getting at the moment?
