What do Braxton Hicks feel like?

[Mummyk1982]

Hi all

Possibly a really silly question, but what do Braxton Hicks feel like? Confident I haven't had any yet (30+3) but just curious to know what they feel like- whether I'll realise if I experience one :-)

Thanks!

Mine are painless, but can be uncomfortable. My bump just goes very tight.

I was going to post about this! Think I'm getting bh contractions - bump feels very tight but not painful. I'm 32 weeks. Also getting some low back pain - feels like period pain - is this normal?

My bump sometimes feels harder than at other times, and very occasionally get period like pain in lower back but never associated this with BH :-)

For me it felt like the baby was trying to stretch out, or get out of my tummy from the side - bump went very tight and I could feel all the lumps and bumps, on both sides at the same time. Not painful though, I didn't even realise it was BH until I described it to a friend after the event.
