Braxton Hicks ???

Hello! I was just wondering what does your braxton hicks feel like?? The last few days I feel my muscles tightening in my lower belly but when I touch my belly it does not feel tighter or harder. It last for about 10 - 15 sec then releases. But it definitilty feels like my muscles tightening - kinda like when you are getting a charlie horse - you feel those muscles start to tighten - except this is painless. Could this be braxton hicks?? Or maybe just my ligaments tightening??

Thanks!!

    Could be BH or just uterine irritability. I have been told that they feel the same, but a contraction will last for 40 seconds or longer.

    Sounds like BH. I also felt kind of short of breath during them and had a fluttering in my heart.

    Thanks for the replies! I have been getting quite a few today and they are lasting longer - about 15-30 sec. I wasn't sure what they were cause I assumed my stomach would get harder - but my stomach already feels hard so it is hard to tell.
