BH? Help please

Question

Ftm.. and I think pregnancy is confusing haha Am I feeling BH contractions? Or is my little one stretching? I keep getting this feeling in my tummy like my baby is stretching.. like my whole stomach is being pulled from the center.. it doesn't hurt.. just hardens.. ? It specifically feels like it goes through the middle of my stomach though.. like across my belly button and to the sides?

Baby or contractions? So hard to explain :/

Answer

If your whole belly hardens it's probably BH. Baby stretching might harden part of your tummy, but not the whole thing. At 34 weeks, BH is likely.

Answer

The growing pains are supposed to be baby stretching... Mild cramps lower pelvic area, but bearable.

The Braxton hicks are definitely the uncomfortable tightening of the belly... Does feel like it's being stretched.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and wasn't sure if I was having them or not. I was getting really hard and it would take my breath initially and sometimes was hard to walk but my midwife said its just her moving and pushing out... She felt my tummy during it one time. So now I'm really confused

Answer

Sounds like Braxton Hicks

Answer

That's what they say BH contractions feel like but I wouldn't know. I either get them and don't know that's what they are, or I'm not getting them yet. I'm 33 weeks. She moves so much I really can't be sure lol
