Is this normal or signs of early labor???

Question

I'm 35 weeks and my whole stomach got hard but there was no pain. I think I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions I know they're not actually contractions because they're not consistent they're just little pains. But is my whole stomach hardening normal? It wasn't my baby pushing out because it was my entire stomach and he only pushes out in certain spots. Should I be worried at all? Should I call my ob?

Answer

It's very normal. In fact it's a healthy sign that your body is getting in some practice for labour! I used to get that every time I was ... intimate 😳... and randomly at other times too

Answer

Those are definitely Braxton Hicks if you are busy and moving lots they tend to happen. Drink some water and sit back for a few mins they subside. Totally normal.

Answer

That's Braxton Hicks :) unless you're getting them consistently and they're getting worse and worse, it's nothing to be concerned about

Answer

That’s braxton Hicks and totally normal! 
And contractions are contractions. They’re all real, they are just a lot more erratic than active labor contractions.

Answer

I've had Braxton hicks for weeks and the hardening is totally normal... I even got them during my ultrasound and could watch the uterus contract which was a new experience but interesting to watch
