When i was having contractions i didn't feel tightening at all! But then again I was in way too much pain to even try to feel lol. If you feel more tightening than pain then I would say it's Braxton Hicks most likely because I had those a lot before I went into labor
I meant other then pain haha. They are def painful. I'm not sure if it's just baby moving or Braxton hicks or actual contractions. I feel like an idiot but I didn't know I was in labor with my first or second and I didn't know I was contracting with my third. -_-
Oh I see! Lol by the time I knew I was having real contractions it hurt to much for me to even think about feeling my stomach, I could barely even walk around
That's my problem I don't know if I have them or not no matter how bad the pain is. Idk what's wrong with me haha
