braxton hicks can come in many different "strengths" as well as affect you/ feel differently. they're not always like dead-on contraction copy cats. if you're feeling "tightness" &/or just funky feelings, they very well could be bh's! i was hooked up to the monitors in the hospital before & the machine was reading them, but i was feeling nothing more than tightness & kinda like she was moving in a weird way lol so if i was you - id assume that it could very well be 😉
