Possibly silly question

How do you tell the difference between the baby stretching/pressure and BH? Baby is breech still and presses her head in to my ribs/side, but recently the pressure and hardness seems more generalized... No pain, just tightness or pressure. tia.

    For me, with BH I felt tightening over my entire stomach, it was never just in one spot. It was very similar to a real contraction except that it never hurt.

     With the baby stretching, I always feel her move to stretch. Also I typically feel her pushing against something on the inside so that she's stretching against my skin, does that make sense? Like I can feel whatever she's pushing again when she arches her back.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    When baby pushes up against me, I can usually see him moving against my stomach, and if I put pressure there, he will move. BH my tummy gets tight all over, it's not painful, just feels rock hard, and I can usually only tell when my hand is on my stomach. I can't always tell if it's one or the other, but most of the time I can.
