Braxton hicks?
I’ll be 21 weeks tomorrow- in the past two weeks I’ve had what feels like medium intensity period cramping (like a contraction) for a minute or two about 4 times so far. Every few days I seem to have a moment where I have an intense period cramp feeling. Is this similar to others Braxton hicks experiences? It’s my second pregnancy and I never felt this in my first one, but from what I’m reading online (of course my mind starts racing) it says they should be painless and more of a full belly tugging. What I’m feeling is specifically period cramping, like my early contractions with my first! Any other experience sharing would be lovely!!

I felt the same thing! And I didn’t experience it with my first. Idk if it was the food I ate prior to it happening or if it was Braxton hicks. I’m 21 weeks.
It’s normal. I had them too and spoke with my gynaecologist. Apparently it’s just the muscles preparing more room for the baby. It’s my second pregnancy as well.
