Braxton Hicks or Baby Moving?

Question

Maybe this is dumb but does anyone else sometimes struggle to distinguish between Braxton Hicks or baby moving? Sometimes it feels like she’s stretching super long and hard, which makes my stomach tighten up like a contraction, but it’s coupled with feeling her wiggle and twist, so I’m left wondering what’s going on in there haha.

Answer

I'm exactly the same I have no clue if I'm having braxton hicks or if it's baby moving lol but whatever it is it hurts 😂

Answer

It’s super had to distinguish. What I’ve realized is that my BH stretch width ways across my belly in an even fashion. Baby movements may be in a similar location but the tightening/pressure is more uneven and is faster/ doesn’t last as long. My BH also start slow and ramp up hold in position and then relax. 
But it took me several days of really consistent BH contractions to figure it out.

Answer

I have similar experiences! I have noticed sometimes his movement is what triggers the BH so that makes it hard to know too!
