Contractions or baby balling up?

Question

I’m 38 weeks and I’ve noticed for over a week that baby will ball up and the top of my bump will get really hard, but just today I realized it could actually be contractions. I don’t feel anything at all when it happens, just pressure where it feels like she’s pushing and my stomach gets really hard, like rock hard. Now I’m realizing it comes and goes like contractions.

Answer

I am on baby #4 and still sometimes have a hard time telling the difference. But lately with actual contractions I notice that I get slightly lightheaded. Also if it's just baby I can push on her a little and she moves right away, if it's a contraction my belly stays hard.

Answer

BH contractions

Answer

Experiencing and wondering the same!

Answer

I also get this! There’s times where it’s very obvious that it’s the baby as it’s a certain area however there’s also times where it’s the whole stomach balling up and I feel around my entire stomach and it’s right. No pain at all can just feel it rising haha
