Contractions your stomach gets tight and hurt and they constant ! And Braxton Hicks hurt but they might come in come and not back to back like contractions

I guess braxton hicks are in the front and real contractions in the back. I agree with @bodybycheetos with Braxton my stomach tightens and it's a little uncomfortable but not painful!

Contractions for me felt like gas pains, bh were uncomfortable when my stomach would tighten but there was no pain.

Contractions are more painful Braxton Hicks are jst small little cramps n tightening
