What do they feel like, and how different are they from real contractions?
Did any of you get them? If so, how far along were you?
Im 23 weeks and I thiiiink I’ve felt them a couple of times .. been doing some research on them but not sure if its just gas (lol) or actually braxton hicks contractions.

Just a general tightening of muscles.You'll feel your abdomen becoming taut. They are harder to notice at this stage, but you'll feel them more as your pregnancy progresses.

Yeah, and I also think you notice them more in subsequent pregnancies than in your first.
