Braxton Hicks?

Question

Can someone please explain :)

Answer

For me and my last three pregnancies it feels like tightening in your belly that starts slow and spreads from bottom to top until your entire belly is tight and hard. Like a giant belly band or blood pressure cuff squeezing you. Makes it harder to breath and feels like it’s pressing up on your lungs. It peaks and slowly relaxes. Takes place in a matter of seconds, 30-60. It’s not painful just uncomfortable, more so if I’m sitting or lying down. While standing it just gets me a little out of breath. They are also very irregular, without a pattern of you time them and usually go away when changing positions or drinking water.
