Ive gotten bh since.20 weeks they first started off just as a discomfort mainly tightening really low in my abdomen and can work there way up. Now they are more intense but the only way i can really describe it is tightening. Does your belly go rock hard when u get the discomfort?

Lol I know I am not much help haha but I think as long as the pain is bearable you're ok. For me, that first real contraction was like God put me in a vice grip :)

I had bh somewhat early on and haven't had them since.. but to me it was like tightening no pain and only lasted for seconds. And there wasn't a specific pattern. I've heard they can also feel like cramps? Sorry ftm and don't know too much to help Lol bump!

I don't think I ever had BH so I'm not sure, but I can tell you that when I was about 30 weeks pregnant my baby turned and there was SO much pressure on my pelvic area.  It started like how you mentioned it and as time went on it felt like she was going to fall out lol It got to the point where I could hardly even lift my legs if I was laying down.  Not trying to scare you or anything but it gets a little rough towards the end.
