Braxton Hicks Contractions

can anyone explain what they feel like? Just read that from 22 weeks you can start to have the painless ones and want to know if I've been feeling them or not? Thanks :)

I have it to
I am this week 22 weeks
And my tummy goes hard to! Like 3 dayz now and worried but
I had read it somewhere that It's started with 6th/7th week but you would feel it until you will be in your 20th week
Only if it's hurting than you should go to your doc but if it's only hard then it's alright!

So don't worry ;)
