Braxton hicks???

Question

Hey, can you guys describe to me what your Braxton hicks feel like to you? I never had them with my first, and I'm wondering if thats what I'm experiencing lately or if it's something else. It always helps me to hear descriptions in the words of real, pregnant women rather than medical pages 😊
P.S. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow!! YAY FOR BEING HALFWAY!

Answer

to me it always felt like the baby curled up Into a ball and my belly got stiff. when I was pregnant with my first, I had Braxton hicks contractions when I was hooked up on the monitor and the Dr said that I was having contractions and it just felt like a stiffening in my belly.

Answer

Basically it just feels like your belly gets tight and harder to the touch. They never hurt for me. If I felt pain it was like a mild cramp.
