braxton hicks is not my baby's name would be ;) that's what they named it for the tightening sensations on the uterus during pregnancy.
as i'm getting ready to Vancouver this morning, i felt this sensation just slightly below my belly button (i'm only 17 weeks). I can felt my uterus was tightening, so i just lay down for a while & searching for this kind of sensation on the internet.
that's how i found out about 'braxton hicks' contractions, last about one to 2 minutes. They are very normal & fine unless happens more than 4 in an hour or last more than 2 minutes. Braxton hicks helps the uterus to get toned and ready for labor later.
What a relief to have easy internet access ;D
