    I had braxton hicks nearly every day from about week 20, just make sure they are not getting stronger and closer together

    What exactly do they feel like? I can't tell if I'm getting them or not. My stomach gets hard, I sometimes feel like I have a pulled muscle down low, sometimes it feels crampy sometimes it's just hard. So confused!!

    That's what I get too, read about it and pretty sure thats Braxton Hicks? Imagine you'd only get them nearer due date but appararntly not the case!

    Braxton hicks can feel like whats been mentioned above. They can also feel like period pains. So long as they aren't increasing in regularity and intensity then its normal. If they do, ring your doc/midwife/hospital especially if you get a show/leakage at the same time. I wouldn't worry about them though. I've been getting them since last week and i'm only 15-16 weeks (4th pregnancy though).
