Are these Braxton Hicks?

[IAteTheCake]

I am 30 weeks pg. For the last couple of weeks, especially over then last few days, I've been getting really weird sensations particularly across the top half of my bump. At first I thought it was baby rolling or moving but much more so than a leg/elbow jab type feeling, but now I'm think are they BH?! I don't recall this with my dd (now 2). It feels like my stomach goes tight and the baby is rolling over or moving positions quite violently and it is enough to make me stop doing whatever I am doing. It lasts half a minute or more and then goes away. On Friday it happened a few times in the day/night and then yesterday once, today once....Are they BH? Can't believe I am being so stupid about it as I just can't remember it happening in my first pregnancy. It is normal isn't it?.............

Sounds like how my BH started, I had before 30 weeks but didn't know it was that until I started getting them every 5 minutes and they were picked up at the hospital during monitoring at 36 weeks. It's now my due date so I've got very used to them. This is my 3rd baby and I never had them with the others. Mine having never been painful as such, just take my breath away, some are stronger than others and mine last between a minute - minute and half
