braxton hicks contractions?

[mommymendoza]

Hey ladies!

I was just hoping some people would share what their braxton hicks contractions feel like versus other pregnancy feelings and actual contractions.  I've researched it and got the book answer, but maybe some personal experiences would help me fully understand.  It took me forever to figure out what the kicks and jabs felt like, but I still have other sensations sometimes that I haven't been able to "diagnose" :)

Thanks!

It feels like a tightening (almost like a big ball or knot in your tummy) not painful, just pressure. It should go away when you change positions, empty your bladder, or drink water. And obviously they are not consistent and don't get worse like real labor contraction :)
