Braxton Hicks?

Question

My dr told me I may feel Braxton Hicks in the 3rd trimester... but am not sure what they should feel like.
Today I’ve been having random spirts or lower back pain, which then make me feel nauseous. 
I’ve read they feel like period pains, but my period pains have always just been lower back aching then it came.
Is this Braxton Hicks? (Already reached out to the dr but haven’t heard back)

Answer

For me they happen in the lower belly area and they come in waves like contractions and last a little while. They usually come in about sets of 3-6 and then they just stop.

Answer

I’ve been having them like crazy . At first it just felt like my whole stomach was tightening up . I’m 34 weeks now and they are starting to come with a mild cramp feeling

Answer

For me there was no pain at all,i wouldnt have known i was having them if i wouldnt have seen my stomach tighten up into a basketball shape at times.

Answer

It’s just a tightening of the uterus. It kinda feels like you’re flexing your lower abs or having a small orgasm (minus the fun at least)

Answer

For me it feels like my lower stomach gets tight, last about 10-20 seconds then I’m good. No pain or cramping for me though.
