What does Braxton hicks feel like? I'm had to leave the store 2 days in a row now due to discomfort and tightness in my whole belly area with sharp shooting pains down in my crotch.... is that Braxton hicks? I'm 30 weeks, almost 31 with twins, and feel like I can't really walk to much without it happening again. It just happened today, and for like 30 minutes after I was experiencing period like cramps.
