Are you able to tell the difference between BH and baby moving?

Question

My doctor told me today that if I'm having BH often then I should start timing them. The only thing is I realized today that sometimes I'm not positive if it's a BH or if the baby is just pushing up against my tummy, because it only lasts a few seconds, but at the same time it still makes me lose my breath. Does anyone know a way to tell the difference?

Answer

I've found that when it's just baby moving that only one spot, or wherever baby is pushing against, will be hard. With BH my whole stomach gets hard. To tell the difference I usually just poke around my stomach. If there's some soft spots it's just baby moving around.

Answer

I’m glad I’m not the only one with this problem!

Answer

I’ve been wondering this! I’m a first time mom and haven’t noticed BH throughout my whole pregnancy  but there are times that baby feels like they’re pushing their whole body against me

Answer

With BH your belly gets really tight and you have back pain at the same time only lasting for 10 to 30 seconds. When baby moves and pushes up your belly doesn't get as tight and just feels like a balloon that goes up and then right back down.
