They can feel a little different from woman to woman Nikki, but Braxton Hicks will make your tummy tighten. They can be a bit uncomfortable but not painful, although the closer you get to D-day they do get stronger. BH's will be a bit erratic, so not in orderly timeable fashion.
The real contractions will be timeable and will build in strength.
Stumach goes hard then soft again, uncomfortable but don't usually hurt. Iv been getting them since I was about 15 weeks some are more intense then others especially when u feel it in your lower abdomen.. you'll know when they are real contractions xx
@blueberry79, yes first time that I’ve been uncomfortable tbf lol. There not consistent just every so often. He’s moving lots today as well I just felt his heel or elbow by my belly button and it freaked me out haha xx
@amy89, 15weeks😶 this is the first time I’ve experienced them and I’m nearly 38 weeks lol. My stomach as u said is going hard but doesn’t hurt. Feeling pressure too xx
@nikki90xx I feel pressure in my lower abdomen when they are really intense, but obviously I'm not as far gone as u so might feel different.. I read on internet tho that frequent BH can lead to real contractions xx
@amy89, I can be sat here one min feeling relaxed then he moves, my stomach goes tight and I get pressure and feel like I’ve got period pains, after a couple of mins they go. This is my first so I’m looking into things far to much🙈 xx
