Braxton hicks?

Question

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm still not sure if I understand what Braxton hicks feels like. I heard they aren't suppose to be hurt but aren't hey suppose to mimic real ones. I've had tightening in my stomach on and off with pain, but they don't feel like real contractions to me. Am I actually having Braxton hicks or is it something else? They have stopped for now.

Answer

Braxton hicks usually stop if you have a cold glass of water and put your feet up or have a hot bath, if they don't stop it's real labour, sometimes braxton hicks can be worse than the real thing

Answer

If they stop and are irregular timing wise then it's just Braxton hicks. They can hurt & be uncomfortable .. Usually a glass of water and relaxing (laying on your left side) will get them to stop. If they do NOT stop or they are able to be timed then it's something to call the doctor about.
