BH or no BH?

Hiii..

So today, I've woken up fine..
And throughout the morning, I've had a few, not many, just a couple of period like pain aches?!
Kinda like you have a dodgy tummy and need a poop, but I know I deffo don't and it's different to that feeling, just the closest thing I could think of to the pains!

Little man gives a couple of kicks after I get an ache too..

Could these be the start of wonderful Braxton Hicks?

Can't call MW as shes on leave .

It's likely to be bh , when you feel one does your tummy feel hard like tensed?

When I get bh my bump goes rock hard, then slowly releases iykwim. I dont find them painful although some ladies do, I quite like the feeling x

My bump always feels solid so I can never tell if it's gone hard or not lol :/

 

[maybe baby]

What are braxton hicks girls?

same for me cos I have never felt pain with BH's it's quite a nice sensation as it gently realeases not had any with this pregnancy yet I usually notice them around 30 weeks .
They are practice contractions maybe xx

They are referred to as "practice contractions", the womb contracts but it's not labour.
I got them from around 17 weeks this time but got them a lot later last time.
Some don't get any.
My bump goes solid, really tight and feels really funny then relaxes. It lasts about 5 seconds.
Some ladies report an actual cramp when this happens, I've never had that.
If you have an O during pregnancy, do you feel your bump go hard? If so, it's like that x
