Braxton hicks or baby pushing on me?

Is anyone experiencing braxton hicks or remember from last time what they felt like?

I keep having this uncomfortable sensation where my belly goes hard and it feels like the baby is pushing against it. It hurts a touch, but is more just really uncomfortable. At first I thought it was the baby pushing against me, but its starting to happen more frequently and my uterus feels hard in general and then it goes away. 

Baby pushing against me like I originally thought, or Braxton hicks kicking in?

    I think I had a Braxton Hicks the other day. A large portion of my uterus got very tight and uncomfortable for a few seconds and then relaxed. It wasn't painful, but I knew it was happening. It felt like a cramp, but not painful.

    Sounds like BH to me. Does it kind of take your breath away a little bit? I have a LOT of BH when I'm pregnant.

    Doesn't really take my breath away, but I definitely notice it. It's just really uncomfortable for about 5 seconds and then it softens and goes away.... Very strange feeling.

    Yeah I have those too... At first I was hoping it was the baby since I really can't tell if it's moving/kicking/flicking or whatever... I really can't. But then when I descrived the sensatio (feels like a small portion of my belly just goes really hard, rigid for like 30 seconds) they said it was BH. Oh well... I guess more waiting for the baby kick.

    With the BH someone said to dringk more water and walk it off... Works for me.

    Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the difference between baby pushing and BH and then when I have an O my uterus gets all tight and I remember the difference is that the BH is ALL over, not just a generalized (even if it's large) area.
