    It is possible for BH to take this form. They can feel like mild period pain or constipation, your bump should feel rigid/hard to touch and should then return to normal after a short time. They will grow in strength and duration the closer you get to labour and birth and often can be mistaken for the start of labour (so don't panic if you feel the urge to call your MW, many women do)
