Braxton hicks just feel like your tummy tightening. And it gets all hard. And real ones are very intense. Mine started at 2 minutes apart and everytime I got one I would have to bend over and like moan! It was like hooorrible period cramps mixed with an extreme pain really low on my stomach. theyre so hard to explain. But hopefully yours wont start so close togethet, that way it wont be as bad!

Braxton hicks contractions. But they dnt hurt and are not constinant.  There practice contractions for ur uterius. You will start getting them soon. They dnt hurt. You might just feel your tummy tighten up. Usually if u move to a different position or walk they go away. The further along u get the more youll get them. But they shouldnt hurt.
