What do Braxton Hicks feel like?

Question

I'm a ftm so I really don't know what to look for as far as Braxton Hicks and contractions are concerned. I'd just like to know what to expect when they happen 😊

Answer

Has anyone had it so bad they couldn't walk? I felt like I had this and I was walking around a store and suddenly couldn't walk because of the tightening.

Answer

I don't even notice I'm having them. The only reason I do know when I get them is if I feel my stomach and it's tight.

Answer

FTM as well and I'm curious 2. I get feelings like there is a lot of pressure and it gets tight, it feels like she is curling herself up in a ball and push as far out of my stomach as possible.

Answer

Braxton Hicks to me just feel like tightening and a bit of uncomfortableness. I can usually walk and do stuff while getting them sometimes I just sit down and drink some water. It helps that way. But contractions are a whole different level of pain. Contractions freaking hurt badly. Water ain't helping those things out. And contractions keep coming braxton hicks usually stop after a couple of minutes unless your dehydrated.

Answer

Any chance it feels like bubbling in your low belly? I have no idea what this feeling is..,,,

Answer

Mine are visible, I have no pain, a little uncomfortable as my belly honestly turns into a rock and pushes hard onto my bladder. I've had them daily since 20 weeks. I'm now 26 +2 . If your having them your belly should feel obviously different and hard!

Answer

It feels like my period is about to begin. I get cramps through the back and front then tightening across my abdomen. They last a few minutes but don't gain strength and aren't regular.

Answer

I get mine right up under my belly and it's really tight for a few seconds and then goes away. Sometimes I can't fully stand up right because it makes it feel tighter!

Answer

It just feels like your belly gets tight and then it released after a few moments. It's uncomfortable at times, but they don't hurt. At least they haven't hurt me at all. Just feels like my belly has a tight ball.

Answer

Your stomach will tighten up. They can be uncomfortable, but will be irregular as far as time goes.
