What do braxton hicks feel like?!

[Lacey's Mummy]

I know I'm still in tri 2 for a couple more weeks but thought you guys would know my answer more!
I never got braxton hicks with lacey and don't think I've had them yet with little man but was wondering, what do they feel like? I know what contractions feel like and heard they milder forms of that but how do you tell them apart from signs of early labour?!

Sorry for coming into tri 3 with proberly a silly question lol

theres no pain at all with mine. I feel it, kind of similar feeling to when the baby tries to stretch an arm or leg out. At first I was like WTF is this baby doing? I thought he was pushing his whole back out or something. Now theyre really strong and I swear my bump feels as hard as stone when I have them. But not any pain at all. OH can see my bump move when it starts, it kind of lifts up a bit. Then after its faded LO has a good old wriggle to get comfy again!

Same as the other girls have said really, Your belly just goes rock solid. I have no idea I was having them until I went to see the midwife and she went to feel where the baby was and my stomach was too solid lol. I cant feel a thing though. Just feels crazy solid if I touch it, mostly at the top.
