Need advice

I am currently 17 and 30 weeks +4 days. I was told I would feel Braxton hicks contractions and I haven't started feeling anything. I'm a ftm and heard some people don't even feel them.

I'm 29weeks now, and mine JUST started becoming noticeable recently. I know I've been having them for a while because if I put a hand on my belly, I could feel it tighten up, but they weren't strong enough for me to feel from the inside until about 26 weeks or so.

When you feel like the baby is sticking up in one place and u feel your stomach tight, those are Braxton hicks. They aren't going to hurt.

It feels like your belly is tightening. I experienced light cramping once with them but mostly I would just experience the tightening
