braxton hicks or babys position?

im 37w4d and my whole belly will get hard but it will be in such odd shapes. sometimes my belly button goes in real deep and my belly just looks like a butt shape its crazy, but is that how my baby positions herself sometimes or is it a braxton hicks contraction? i've read your belly gets hard, which mine does like i said. and its very uncomfortable for about a minute.

Yes sounds like BH! I was exactly the same with my last pregnancy never really knew if it was then when I finaly had real contractions knew that's what they had been. Your very close now it's nothing to be concerned about your body is getting ready for labour :)

Sounds like BH to me. That's how mine were when I was pregnant. Everyone told me it was just baby, but then I found out it was actually contractions.
