You ever got a "fat cramp"? Example if you run to long you get that terrible cramp in your side? Thats what mine feel like on both sides.

Answer

I have no idea lol. I don't know if I have actually had any.  I have had some occasional cramps down in my pelvis that feel like menstrual cramps... but I don't know if that counts or not.

Answer

Braxton Hicks are not supposed to be painful. It feels like you are tightening or squeezing you an muscles. If you feel your tummy it feels hard. It lasts typically 30-60 seconds and then releases. I've had them since about 19 weeks. I'm over 32 weeks now and they are getting a lot stronger but they do not hurt. This is my second pregnancy so I recognized what they are right away.

Mine felt like a Charlie horse like I sometimes get in my legs in the middle of the night.
