What do Braxton Hicks feel like ?

[babyonboard]

Same here. Definitely a tightening feeling. Ive been getting them since about 20 weeks but are getting stronger and longer now. I dont have any pain, but it can sometimes be uncomfortable, expecially if Im walking around at the time

For me BH were period type cramping pains.
I had stacks of them and always thought I was going into labour!
When labour did actually start I was surprised that I 'just knew' it was happening.
The more BH the better (at least in my case)!
Labour itself felt similar to BH but the cramping was far stronger.

Good luck

Wow, this forum really helped me. I have been having so many discomforts I did not know which ones were actual braxton hicks. All the time my stomach gets tight and it looks like baby is pushing from the inside. It is very uncomfortable and lasts about 30-70 sec. I just thought this was baby movement. lol Well than i guess I have a lot of BH.
