Telling the difference?

Question

How can you tell the difference in baby movements, or BH contractions that don’t hurt and actual contractions?

Answer

Baby movements might feel like jabs, pushing out in one spot or as if the baby was stretching. It’s pretty different from contractions IMO. 
BH can feel similar to early labour contractions for some people, and other people don’t really feel them. Your belly will get really hard and some people get a mild cramping or pulling sensation along with it. They’re usually pretty irregular and not timeable.
Real contractions usually are more painful, regular, will get more intense over time, sometimes come with back pain and/or lots of pressure. 
I was worried about not being able to tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and real contractions with my firstborn but it was instantly recognizable when I went into labour because it was so different for me.
