What do BH feel like? I had bad cramps and mild nausea today for about 1 hour. I'm 37.5weeks pregnant and wondering could it be contractions...

I'm 32 weeks and haven't had any yet. Is that something to be worried about?

I am 27 weeks and have got a few funny feelings on and off for a couple if weeks. My tummy gets really tight (no pain or cramp) and I get a heavy feeling low in my tummy. They only last anything bewtween 5 and 20 seconda. A friend said they thought it was BH. For those with experience, is this what BH feel like?

Sorry for high jacking your thread with a question Op

SafetyDance braxton hicks make your tummy go tight no pain though

Thought I would share as just got a text back from MW as asked if what I was feeling was anything to worry about. She says "symptoms sound like BH. Any abnormal discharge TMI, pain, or tightenings that appear to be regular/gaining in strength are cause for concern. Ring immediately if any this this happens"
