what do braxton hicks feel like?

[Kaylee93]

For the past 2 days ive been having terrible cramps all day long they come and go and last a couple minutes i feel like there getting more painful. I'm 24 weeks. Am i having Braxton hicks?

[Kaylee93]

Its like tightening and my stomach does feel hard but i also feel cramp like stuff really low. Im not worried cause i feel baby move but was curious. Thanks ladies (:

Yah Braxton hicks is tightening in the stomach. You'd know if you felt that

I'm having some really strong braxton hicks and it feel like my bump getting super tight and hard, does it feel like that? I'm 22wks now but been having them since 18wks and my dr says its fine. I'd probably agree with the lady above that the cramping is more ligaments stretching.

It can be but it is most likely the stretching of ligaments, especially if it is your first. I'm pregnant with my third at 23 weeks and have been doing this but I know what mine is from already going through it.
