BH vs. Movement

How the heck do you tell the difference? The boys are getting bigger and I can't tell if they are just moving around or if I am really having BH. I have been sitting here (eating jelly beans, lol!) and twice now my belly has tightened up. It's not painful by any means and lasts less than a minute. Just not sure if the boys are enjoying the sugar or if I am having contractions.

FWIW I stopped eating jelly beans about 20 minutes ago and am drinking water now :-)

  • Whatever it was has stopped. Definitely keeping an eye on the situation.

  • My ob said if it is in one place, the it is movement, but if it is an overall sensation it could be a contraction. I was wondering the same as you. :)

    What Ylvelill said. If it doesn't feel like just a limb pushing out in one spot, it is probably BH. You may not even be able to feel them without your hand on your belly.

  • I was definitely feeling it all over. Part of me just thought they were moving together :)

    I am having the same issue. It doesn't seem to get tight all over but definitely the upper part gets hard. Baby boy is up top with baby girl down low, going to check this out at Weds. Dr. Appt.
  • Prob BH with tightening. When they're little enough you can feel rolls, too which is a different feeling than kicks or jabs and the feeling of them kicking each other is a super weird/neat sensation too. You'll start to be able to ID it all soon.

  • Thanks all! I go to see my MFM on Friday so we will see what's going on in there. I am so thankful that these BHs have not been consistent. Gotta keep these boys cooking!!!
