Stomach tightnings, anyone know what this is?

[MrsMuskett]

Hi guys, currently 41+1 still waiting or my man to come.booked in to be induced on sun so hopefully we'll have him then.
Jut wondering if anyone could tell me what this is - been having weird belly tightnings all day, no pain or discomfort, so not BH or contractions, just randomly all day my stomach will go hard and tight then stop like a minute or 2 later, confused as to what it is and can't find owt online??x

BH can sometimes be painless tightenings :)

That is the perfect definition of braxton hicks... Painless tightenings .

Good info here www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/labour-signs-what-happens.aspx

Braxton Hicks. Mine were never painful.

As above!

Oh lol, that's shocked me. All BH ive had have had the period type pain with them, live n learn. Cheers guys x
