Braxton hicks

Mine feel like I suddenly become very uncomfortable. I don’t notice the tightness of my belly for a second because I’m so focused on how out of breath I feel. Almost like the beginning stages of having a panic attack and it goes away after a min or two. Feels like forever tho. No position is comfortable I just try to breathe through it. It’s happed maybe twice now. It’s different from what I read others feel. Feels nothing like cramps to me.
I had them last week for the first time and it freaked me out. It felt like tightness and pressure all round my bump.
Yes, braxton hicks feel like preasure and tightening on certain parts of the belly or all over the belly. Contractions can feel similar but more as well as accompanied with menstrual cramps sensation and also a deep ache that goes into the thighs at the same time.
Y’all are explaining BH like it’s nothing. Mine were painful and lasted for like 30 minutes. Everyone is different mamas!
@Peyton THIS!! Everyone is different!❤️
@Peyton one last 30 minutes straight? Or you had multiple in 30 minute time frame?
@Gavinga 30 minute time frame in and out. Maybe like a few minutes in between. I wasn’t timing or anything tho.
@Peyton ooooh gotcha
I started having them around 22 weeks! Mine just feel like pressure and tightening all over my stomach and a bit of pressure in my pelvis. Usually don’t last any longer than a minute!
