No! Braxton hicks will have the tightening feeling added with what feels like a strong period cramp,. If that starts happening off and on through your day go to the hospital.

Braxton hicks doesn't always have pain associated with it, like a cramp. I've felt it maybe twice so far and it's only been the tightness no cramping no pain.

I’m having tightening and cramps like period is that bad?
