Do Braxton hicks feel like period cramps? Or like 💩 cramps? I never felt a contraction with my first pregnancy so idk what to look for with either one.

My tummy feels like I’m having period cramps without pain when I have Braxton hicks. I thought I almost peed myself a second ago because there was so much pressure down there. I’m only 27 weeks though so you could be going through something totally different.

You can start now but they really want you to keep track once the movements get more consecutive around 28 weeks and up 😁

I’m 34 weeks and I’m having cramps that feel like period cramps. When I lay down they start to feel better but when I walk around it comes back so idk what it is. I don’t think it’s labor or anything maybe just the ligament pains?😬

I get that too and im only 29 weeks. I dont think they are labor pains or even braxon hicks pains since i cant time them. Its just evwry now and then i get the cramps, like you said they feel like period cramps. I thinks that normal. No leakage. No blood. And my boy is kicking me all the time still.

You could just be cramping I would try to not pay much attention until quiet a few days go by after your period was supposed to have come or else you might just think everything is a sign which would be really easy to do
