I think MrsAlbin has a good description- DD did tons of somersaults- I loved feeling it! It was like big butterflies but flipping around

I get that feeling too and I think that's what he's doing in there. It's usually followed by quite a few kicks as he gets resettled

If it's hard all over, it's a BH. If you get a hard feeling in just one spot, then it's the baby. Sometimes the baby will position herself right up against my uterus, which can be hard and sometimes uncomfortable.
