Ali-s - 107 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I too am 35 weeks and having the same tight feelings. It is Braxton Hicks and just your body's way of practising contractions. My BH's seem to come on more at night when I'm trying to relax and my husband laughs at the weird shape my belly goes into. Sometimes mine are every fifteen minutes or so and I begin to think it's the real thing and then they stop. You will know when it's proper contractions as you start to get a dull pain which is similar to period pain and makes you feel a bit restless and uncomfortable. Good luck for the next 5 weeks and hope you have a quick labour and delivery. Ally xx

kayleen - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Here is how to tell. If it is a BH contraction your entire stomack will get hard. Not just where the baby is lying. If your baby is just rolling around you will only feel the tightness where his body is. So press around on your stmach with your fingers and feel for softness. If you fin areas of your stomach that are soft, the baby is just lying somewhere else. If you press around and can't find anywhere on your belly that is soft, you are having a BH. Hope that helps =)
