Can stress induce

Braxton Hicks or genuine contractions?

I’m 23weeks exactly, and I’ve had a house full of kids for the last few weeks (6 to be exact) and some days are more stressful than others. After taking about 10mins to finally get these kids to chill out, I sat down and realized my uterus was tight, it wasn’t incredibly painful, but quite uncomfortable and I could feel it across my back... I drank some water and tried to rest but it lasted a few minutes then BAM, gone. So I’m wondering if it’s just my body dealing with Braxton Hicks and the timing was just coincidence or if it was stress induced.

Thanks
