Are these Braxton Hicks?

Question

I get period like cramps in my pelvis. I don't feel my abdomen or pelvis get tightened or anything, it is like a sting. 
When I get the cramps they come every few seconds, for 3 hours or so. Then they stop. Are these Braxton Hicks or something else? They are a little bit painful.

Answer

How far along are you? 
With my Braxton Hicks my whole stomach gets really tight and hard as a rock with the pain/ discomfort.
You could be having the Braxton Hicks, or lighting crotch. Hard to tell. Id call your doctor if you are concerned though 😊

Answer

Braxton Hicks don’t last for hours straight. They only last 20 seconds to about a minute. They feel like your stomach (any part really) gets really tight.

Answer

They could be I guess, but I was contracting when I was at the hospital a few days ago and they just felt like  period cramps to me.

Answer

Braxton Hicks do not cause pain just discomfort and it is the tightening of your uterus. Sounds like you’re just having cramps which can also be normal but it’s worth a mention

Answer

Sounds more like uterine irritability to me. This can be caused by sex, an infection or even bad poo.

Answer

Thank you ladies. I removed some of my workout exercises from my routine and I don't get cramps now. I guess that was it. Anyways I will talk to my midwife on two weeks when I get to see her.
