Contractions or strong movement?

Question

Every now and then my stomach will jolt out to the side.  It feels like a lot of pressure and it's stays like that for like 20 seconds before slowly going back to normal.   Sometimes it makes me gasp because it's unexpected.

I've just been thinking it's the baby locking her legs out or pushing out.  Could it be braxton hicks? I'm a ftm and will be 36 weeks on Monday.

Answer

I'll be 35 weeks on Monday and her kicks are getting stronger, but I think it sometimes is braxton Hicks too when it stays hard for a little bit. I'm kinda used to it at this point, it doesn't hurt so it doesn't worry me

Answer

I have that same feeling but im also having bad cramps and pack pains on top of it

Answer

Def sounds like BH to me!!

Answer

I thought those were the baby until I was monitored a couple of weeks ago and that sensation was actually BH. Though sometimes it feels like her butt is right there after that.

Answer

its hard for me to tell the difference too. his little kicks hurt at this point and he stretches a lot so idk whats a contraction and whats him just stretching

Answer

Normal answer is that with no cramps, back pain it's BH BUT fudge it. Every one is different and with my son I didn't feel my contractions. This time around with my ninja princess I've been having full blow contractions for a week now.....  I would ask next appointment. I got out on the monitor and it was confirmed as contractions not BH.
