What did BH contractions feel like to you?

I THINK I'm having them. To me it mostly feels like period cramps and my stomach is hard, but not rock hard and it lasts for a few minutes at a time.

Could be, but they shouldn't be hurting a whole lot. If they keep causing pain or if you get more than 5 in an hour, I would call in.

I honestly can't tell when I have them, usually. The couple times I know for sure I had one, my belly felt like a really hard ball.

I thought they just felt like a squeezing from the inside. Not painful. Generally concentrated to my lower abdomen, and my belly felt hard also.

Mine also felt like squeezing from the inside. They were not painful and did not last real long. If they continue to be painful, I would give your OB a call just to be safe.

Thank ladies. It's mostly uncomfortable and I'm not even sure if that's what it is.

My stomach would get tight. I only ever noticed them in the middle of the night when I woke up to pee. They were never painful.

Mine were never painful. I would usually feel breathless with them and have a rock hard belly. Sometimes I didn't even feel squeezing. But they never hurt. I would keep an eye on them.

wow-- it's amazing how fast you forget this stuff! BHs feel like such a distant memory... But they were like a stomach tightening. They didn't hurt, but you could feel my stomach area get hard from the outside. Changing position or drinking water should make them go away.
