Braxton hicks or contractions?

Question

Anyone else having a hard time deciphering between Braxton hicks and contractions?? This is my second baby and these feel so different then they did with my first way more pressure down low in my belly and it moves up to the top of my belly. Making me super nauseous. But I have tried hydration and relaxing and it doesn’t seem to help. And it’s making the baby move around like crazy. Anyone else experiencing this? 33 weeks this week!

Answer

I’m not sure first pregnancy. I’m at 32 weeks and feeling a lot of tightening. But not the “period cramps”. Does that sound like Braxton Hicks?

Answer

I was having Braxton hicks starting at 27 weeks this pregnancy. Turned into real contractions at 32 weeks! Braxton hicks are definitely noticeable but feel more like tightening of your belly. Real contractions are super crampy like period cramps, almost making you nauseas

Answer

Following! I’m on the same boat lol
