I’m 23 wks 5 days & I think for the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions, but it hasn’t occurred to me until right now that, that’s what it was. It feels like a buttload of pressure, I thought it was baby’s whole body pushing to the front of my stomach. It’d feel like I have to pee, my heart would race a bit and I’d feel out of breath. Always asked myself why my body was reacting this way when baby moved into this position. Well now it all makes sense. haha

I’m a first time mom so I have no idea what any of this is supposed to feel like. Does this sound like Braxton Hicks? What does it feel like for you?
