Keep feeling tightness/or pressure against my belly button, is this Braxton Hicks or just baby ?

Question

Never experienced Braxton Hicks so I can’t really tell but I keep feel some type of sensation against my belly button like a tightness or could this just be baby ?

Answer

A nurse explained it best to me. Place your hands on your uterus. If it is soft, it’s not a BH contraction. If it’s hard like your forehead, you’re having a contraction. 
It does feel like a tightening pressure. It shouldn’t hurt.

Answer

I’ve been experiencing this too, it’s extremely uncomfortable and a bit painful for me. Yet I think it’s the way baby is positioned. Like she’s pushing and stretching my naval out and I only get relief once she moved. I’ve had Braxton Hicks on and off for the past month and for me they feel more like light period cramps.
