Hi guys, I'm 33+1 and for the past few weeks ive been under the impression that these horrrrendousss sensations im getting is my boy pushing out the left side of my stomach. Recently, ive been seeing pics online of 'what a contracting stomach looks like' and it seems to looks exactly how mine does when im having these braxton hicks/movements.🤔
can anyone enlighten me on what these feelings actually are? when im getting them it does feel like a tightening and my whole stomach goes hard , they happen suddenly and last for anywhere between 5 seconds to 30 seconds alongside a big bulge sticking out of my stomach, then relaxes again and happens again and so on...
i do find when this is happening baby starts becoming a little more active so unsure whether its his movements setting off braxton hicks or whether its purely just him pushing out?
is it braxton hicks or is my baby trying to rip his way out of my stomach?😂
