What do Braxton Hicks feel like?

What do Braxton Hicks feel like?

I'm 26 weeks and recently have felt like my bump was really tight and fit to burst - sort of a wave of tightness. It wasn't really painful but I wouldn't describe it as totally painless either!

Could it be BH?

Thanks

Sounds EXACTLY like BH to me!

Its kind of uncomfortable sometimes, and very tight and hard.

Well, one thing they don't feel like is real contractions

But yes, what you desribe sounds just like BH to me.
