What do braxton hicks feel like to you?

Question

I keep reading it feels like pressure at the top but what im feeling is happing only once a day and feels more so below my belly button. I wanna say it kinda makes me breath weird for a second and then its gone. I never had any braxton hicks with my first baby so I have no clue. This is new to me. Also Im a day or so away from 25weeks

Answer

Cramps that make me want to sit down. Tightens my whole stomach.

Answer

So I thought I wasn't getting Braxton Hicks because I kept assuming they would hurt (I have had some that hurt a bit), but for me it's more uncomfortable than pain/cramping. I get hot, breathing gets a bit restricted and I get really thirsty - and my entire bump gets rock hard.

Answer

I never once felt them. My doctor always told me I was having them, but I never would have known.

Answer

That sounds very similar to mine. I started having them very early, and continued through my entire pregnancy. I’m 19 weeks with my second, and definitely have he tightening already. It gets hard as a rock and feels like tight pressure towards the bottom of my uterus.

Answer

It happened all the time during my daily walk. There would be a tightening and my belly would get hard for about 1 minute and then go away. Not painful, just strange feeling. At least for me.

Answer

I felt like my whole stomach turned into a super hard bowling ball. It was never generalized to one particular spot.
