question
Mommies and Doctors Plz clear my confusion.

I hv been told tht braxton hicks contractions r tightening of the uterus. they last for few seconds. but wenever i get this feeling m i touch my belly i feel one side getting hard and it feels like baby's head.

So my question here is....M i getting the fake contractions or is it the baby's head?

Most moms will mistake a Braxton Hicks contraction for a strong fetal movement or a baby part jutting out. This is what is happening. As your uterus contracts it distends and hence the sensation. If they are sporadic and painless then these are Braxton-Hicks

hello..<br> its will be not baby's head if baby is in cephalic presentation.. it might be baby's bump.. it is common to feel.. but if it is severe like contactions in 15mins interval then meet your doctor once
