Braxton Hicks???

Question

Can someone explain to me the feeling of Braxton Hicks??? 
All day today I’ve been feeling sharp soreness on my down there... as if it’s “opening” up . Which I know isn’t. One side of my tummy tightens up and I feel miscomfort. Not sure if that’s it. Just curious since I never experienced Braxton Hicks 😊

Answer

It’s just my belly getting hard and tight for a few seconds which my OB said is normal

Answer

This Is my first pregnancy and I was unsure of what braxon hicks felt like. Turns out it when your stomache goes all tight inwards then springs back out kinda like a wobbly jelly. It feels like a tightening in your lower belly almost like a period cramp. Sometimes they can be discomfoting but never really painful.had my first Braxton hick contraction when I was being checked by my midwife. She said I see you have started braxton hicks contractions. At the time i was confused 😂😂

Answer

For me feels just like period pains

Answer

For me it felt like cramps and tightening in the belly. They aren’t as painful as contractions so you’ll know. If it’s not either it’s probably round ligament pain..baby is still growing..

Answer

I was having actual contractions and didn’t know it. I ignored it for 12 hrs thinking it’s just ligament pains. Finally went to the hospital and had to give me a shot to stop the contractions. Found out I was contracting due to dehydration.

Answer

My Braxton Hicks feel like my entire belly is tight! It’s just like a muscle contraction I can’t control. Usually happens when I’m going on my walks or on my feet all day at work but they go away when I sit down for awhile! They haven’t been painful but slightly uncomfortable. I’ve also had “lightening crotch” where it feels like a sharp pain around my cervix area. My OB said that is normal for it to happen occasionally but to let her know if it’s happening all the time.

Answer

It feels like your belly is tightening up really hard like a rock and sometimes can be uncomfortable to breath and as you get closer to you due date you can feel some painful period like cramps with the tightness. I used to get so hot when I get them, also they will be more consistent as you get closer to your due date.
