Could this be Braxton Hicks?

So I've been having tightness in my stomach like once or twice a week. It feels like baby girl is balling up. Is that Braxton Hicks? I never had them when I was pregnant with my son so I don't know how they feel.

I've been having the same thing but more often and my doctor says they are Braxton hicks,they can be a little painful or in our case not painful at all,it's just your body practicing for the real thing.
