What do Braxton hicks contractions feel like ?

Question

I’m 16 weeks and 4 days and I keep having this pain in my stomach , it’s like a sharp pain but it’s bearable and it isn’t pain that’s strong enough to make me double over but it’s on the right lower quadrant of my stomach .

Answer

Braxton Hicks is just when your stomach goes rock hard, your uterus contracts.
It’s not painful at all. 
Sounds like you might be having round ligament pain, but if it’s not normal for you I’d talk to your doctor just to be safe.

Answer

That’s not Braxton Hicks. Those are not usually that painful. Could be round ligament pain, but if you’re in severe pain, maybe call your doc.

Answer

If it feels like menstrual cramping even in your back that comes and goes then get it checked. Sounds like you’re having round ligament pain.
