Braxton hicks?

Is Braxton hicks kinda like tightening in the stomach? I’m not sure if that’s what it is but it’s been on and off for the last 15 minutes or so. I’m 33 weeks right now.

Yup! Mine always just feel kinda tight and uncomfortable for a minute and then the feeling goes away.

Yes! I’ve been feeling them too and use it as a reminder to drink water 🤭 (also since they say it should go away with drinking water. If it doesnt and progresses then it’s the real thing)

I’m not 100 % sure I have experienced them yet, I am 32 weeks and I am pretty much always in pain no matter what I do.

Yes, they can feel like tightness of the tummy or mild period cramps. I started experiencing them at 31 weeks, but they’re pretty infrequent

Yes! From tightness to actual cramp like feeling, your body is just prepping. It's very common ☺️
