Do Braxton Hicks feel like you have to poop?

Question

Sorry for the dumb question but how would you describe it ? Are they painful ?

Answer

It should feel like your uterus is tightening (some people think baby is “balling up” but it’s actually a Braxton Hicks).  However, I do get tons of rectal pressure when I have Braxton Hicks contractions

Answer

Not for me. Hard belly or contraction-like pain.

Answer

They felt like my belly was getting hard. At the end, they felt like very mild period cramps.
