It was all clenched up. Real contractions were like the worst cramps ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177287 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 07:17:14 +0000 loveisstrange 177287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine felt like period cramps most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177282 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 07:05:32 +0000 mediagirl 177282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, now that I know what they are... It feels like a big band around my belly tightening up. It's odd though, unless I touch my belly I can't tell if it's those or the baby trying to shove her butt out through by belly. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177270 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 05:35:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 177270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine make my stomach/uterus (usually all of it) feel like a rock. Sometimes they are painful, although it is usually just uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177118 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:59:18 +0000 rachiecakes 177118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same for me - felt like tightening all around my belly. would usually happen when I walked a lot or moved too fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177114 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:54:20 +0000 skibobrown 177114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine usually felt like half of my stomach was tightening. Later in my pregnancy they would make my stomach look really weird -- half of my belly would bulge out when I was having BH contraction. They also got progressively more uncomfortable the further I got in my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177110 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:46:34 +0000 BeachMama 177110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah mine just felt like my belly was getting tight. Not painful at all. It happened a lot when I got up from sittimg or was walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177088 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:57:58 +0000 jennylynn 177088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine felt like a tightening of my belly, and it'd also get really hard. Sometimes it was my whole belly, and sometimes just certain areas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-braxton-hicks-contractions-feel-like#post-177074 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:09:20 +0000 stargal 177074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think im having them.....it kinda feels like a rubber band/tighting feeling on my stomach but only in certain areas (not the whole stomach) right now its by my belly button.....not sure though, it feels different then Round ligiment pain and also a lot higher up... </p>
