Is this Braxton Hicks?

I’m 29 weeks pregnant with my second child and don’t recall ever having BH with my first so not sure what to expect.

I’ve had a few occasions recently and especially today where my bump has felt tight and uncomfortable and I feel quite bloated (particularly at the top of bump) too? I wouldn’t say painful but definitely uncomfortable.

Does this sound like BH?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and my second pregnancy. I’ve been getting them for a few weeks on and off. I can only describe it as a really tight feeling too!

2nd pregnancy here to! & don’t remember them as much with my first, if any. I’ve been getting them fit a while to! (36 weeks I’m currently) my belly goes really really tight especially if I’m doing a lot of lifting or walking.
