Braxton hicks
Hiya everyone, I was just wondering if people could explain how braxton hicks feels to them? I’m pretty sure I’m experiencing them right now but have been for the last 2 hours constantly if that’s the case so just wanting to make sure!!

I’ve had them affect just one side of my stomach as like a mild period type cramp, or feel like a stitch, or just feel tight. They’ve come in lots of different ways this pregnancy. I think the common thing is - for me anyway - that if I get up and move around OR (if I’m already moving) stop and sit down they stop. If I change what I’m doing they go away. Hope that helps xx
my belly goes tight and hard, it feels as though baby is pushing outwards in my belly, it’ll feel considerably hard than the rest of my tummy depending on area, it makes it really hard to breathe lol xx

For me my whole belly goes tight and hard, it just feels uncomfortable and does hurt a bit if it happens when I really need a wee! You can tell if you poke your bump and it feels hard and not squishy for a minute or so x
