Yeah, definitely sounds like braxton hicks and maybe your baby moving around by your cervix!

They don't hurt, just hard to breath. Every once in a while I get a sharp pain crampy feeling at my hooha but its only happened 7 times today the rest is just tightening cramp feeling but doesn't really hurt

My braxton hicks used to never hurt, they would just be tightening and then the past week or so they've gotten crampy!

I've never had cramps before and people tell me it feels like that and I went for my usual hour walk to night and they feel like they are getting stronger. My whole stomach tightens up and feels all crampy and my ribs hurt and it gets hard like heavy breathing. Hopefully it means shes coming soon. Thank you for answering.

Most likely braxton hicks (: I get them all the time!!! I'm 39+1 and you get them much more closer to your due date!
