What do you feel when you get Braxton Hicks?

Question

How do you know when you get Braxton hicks. What are you suppose to feel? What to do when you get one?

Answer

For me they felt like a tightening in my stomach and I could feel my stomach was firm. I would usually get them when out on walks. Slowing down/stopping for a minute or sitting down would typically make them go away. You are more likely to feel them if you're dehydrated.

Tight tummy and like I can't breathe.

Answer

Pretty much what everyone says. You can get them at anytime during pregnancy, not just towards the end. Before I knew I was getting them I thought it was the baby stretching out his body and pushing against my organs. Sometimes it IS him doing that. Found out when I was hooked up to a monitor at the hospital a couple weeks ago
