Is it Braxton Hicks?!

I'm almost 26 weeks, and am starting to get uncomfortable at points in the day where my bump goes hard and tight. Could this be braxton hicks?

I can't remember what they were like with DS1!

Yes, that's it. First timer here, but they're pretty unmistakable

Mine took my breath away this evening

Yep. Sat with them now. I didn't get them with ds or dd. am 38 weeks now and they make you go 'ooh ya fucker!' Every now and then, bit like Tourette's :) lol

There's no pain though. Pretty sure there wasn't with ds1.

It's easier being able to out a name to it at least!

Thanks!

No, no pain just tight like someone pulling your skin right right inside

Definitely sounds like BH to me!

They don't hurt unless you have a baby massively contorting your insides, or you're a bit dehydrated (feels like a leg cramp but in part of your bump), or you're nearing the end and you start getting the period pain combo.
