How do Braxton Hicks feel like?

Question

Can anyone describe them?

Answer

With my first I thought that my baby was stretching and pushing super hard on my belly! Like I would get a lump in an area that was hard and I assumed he was pushing his butt there hard…. Whole stomach gets hard with the good ones. Once you figure it out, you can feel them coming on.

Answer

For me my belly gets REALLY tight and my chest gets tight right along with it. Doesn’t hurt but can be uncomfortable

Answer

For me it’s like muscle spasms/cramps but without the pain. Imagine a leg cramp where it gets tight and you can feel the ripples in your muscles. Usually, those can be really painful. I get the same tight ripples feeling in my abdomen but it is completely pain free. Maybe just a bit uncomfortable. Sometimes I swear the ripples get so big that I can kinda see it on my belly.

Answer

For me they feel like a crazy tightening pressure in my entire belly

Answer

For me sometimes I don’t necessarily feel anything I’ll just notice my belly get very tight and hard

Answer

For me, it usually feels like I’m cramping. It passes quickly, but it’s like a full lower belly/back cramp for me. Haven’t had them yet this pregnancy (31weeks), but had a lot with my second pregnancy.
