I didn't feel her during my BH, but I was a bit distracted at the time If anything, she started kicking up a storm as soon as each contraction stopped.
I noticed he became significantly less active during contractions, I don't remember movement at all actually. But this was pitocin induced labor so it came on pretty hard and fast.. I'm not sure if it would be the same in all cases.
For me Braxton hicks feel similar to what you are describing but only last a few seconds. Contractions for me lasted at least 30 seconds or more and were way more uncomfortable and happen more rhythmically. At 40 weeks I would def call my doc either way. Good luck!
