Is this braxton hicks??

Ok not sure if what I'm experiencing is braxton hicks or not.. So every now and then i get this feeling I THOUGHT could be Hunter rolling over or sitting awkwardly bc of the pressure that's suddenly there, but now I'm wondering if its not something else. I get that feeling like before you have diarreah and you get a little light headed and clammy and it feels like a lot of pressure in there, not pain, just pressure. It lasts like 45 seconds and then its gone again. Is this Braxton Hicks??  I'm going to ask my Dr about it at my next apt but just wondered what you guys experience.Thanks ladies!

    I was just thinking about this. I get a feeling every now and again that's totally different than the movement I normally feel. It's like she's punching at my cervix or something and it's definitely more jarring than her normal movements. Then it stops.

    Now I'm wondering if these are BH contractions?

    And, does your stomach get really tight when it happens?  Sounds like it's BH to me!

    I'm having the same thing as well, I called and talked to a nurse about it, and she said it's probably constipation, but from googling it, it seems like Braxton Hicks...

    I had them with the first and this one too. Sounds like BH to me. It was just odd to me that I had them so much earlier this time around. But yes the pressure and tightening is usually BH.

    I have been having braxton hicks for the past couple weeks.  It does not hurt at all, it literally just feels like my whole uterus gets really tight and hard, last about 20-30 seconds, then goes back to normal.  I feel the tightness of it, and if i need around that area, it feels rock hard!! Try drinking more water... sometimes they are a sign of dehydration.  As long as your need seeing any spotting or anything, should be normal!  And, as long as your not having more then like 3-4 an hour, its normal as well.
