Braxton hicks?

Question

What do they feel like? I keep getting sharp cramping pains on both sides of my tummy...25 weeks 4 days

Answer

Sounds like round ligaments if it's to the sides. I've had both and BH just feels like pressure to me and if I touch my belly it's really hard. Usually lasts a minute or less.

Answer

Sounds more like ligament pain the Braxton hicks. Usually all you have to do is take a couple of Tylenol and lay down to rest for awhile to make it go away:

Braxton hicks isn't painful, you'll just feel your belly tighten.

Thanks ladies :)

Answer

I'm 26 weeks today and all afternoon and evening I've been feeling this sensation I can only best describe as the feeling you get when you do crunches...it comes and goes and my belly will feel tighter...I'm usually pretty active but dealing with a sick 2 year old, a sick hubby, and not feeling too hot myself I haven't done much all day...I'm guessing they're B.H. and nothing to be worried about. No pain, no cramps and no bleeding..that's always a plus.

Answer

They will happen more often the closer you get to your due date but they shouldn't be painful and not alot within one hour. No bleeding??

Answer

It's a tightening feeling and your tummy will be super hard. Braxton hicks aren't painful tho, well shouldn't be.
