Braxton hicks?

Question

First time mom here and started recently feeling these extremely uncomfortable tight feelings in my belly. It literally feels like a Charlie horse but with my tummy muscles. Hurt like a bitch and started happening when I'm cooking. Not sure if it's just my tummy stretching/making room? Or braxton hicks? Can someone tell me what's happening lol I'm 19 weeks for reference

Answer

Also drink a lot of water

Answer

Yessss it is!!! 
So I started them at 19 weeks and im 25 weeks now. I asked my OB its like a cramp in my stomach at my belly button and she said 100% braxton hicks but she said if they hurt then that's an issue. Mine never hurt they just feel uncomfortable and its like my stomach gets hard and tight and then releases.  She said its normal in the 3rd but also happens in the 2nd just watch for pain and if they become lower above your pubic bone.
