Are these Braxton hicks?
So I've been feeling them for a weeks now but never realized this could be contractions. I always thought it was the baby pushing her foot or butt up or something.
Usually when I'm laying down sometimes I'll feel a really uncomfortable, tight sensation and my stomach gets really hard (I mean it's always hard but it feels more hard than usual) and it doesn't last very long, never more than 30 seconds at the most. Sometimes I do feel this more than once in an hour though but they're never too painful just uncomfortable and weird. I also kind of get the pain/discomfort in my back when it happens. Are these Braxton hicks? I'm 24 weeks and my doctor was surprised when I said I hadn't felt them yet.
