FTM here... what do Braxton Hicks feel like?

Question

Yesterday while trying to sleep I kept feeling sharp jabs like under my rib area? And my stomach felt hard......

Answer

My midwife described them as feeling as if baby was balled up rather than how baby normally feels in your belly

Answer

I think the sharp jabs are probably the foetus moving. BH feels like your stomach muscles have gone right and your bump feels harder if you touch it. It shouldn’t hurt but for some people it can be quite uncomfortable. It tends to last several seconds or a bit long and then goes back to normal x
