Braxton hicks?

Question

He ladies! I'm a FTM and has some sharp-ish pain on the right side of my stomach yesterday afternoon. I was doing some light cleaning (dusting/ laundry) when it started and it passed maybe 30-45 mins after I sat down. The pain wasn't terrible, but it was definitely uncomfortable. It was one spot in particular about midway between my belly button and right hip bone. I haven't had any Braxton hicks yet and was wondering if this was my first episode... It's confusing because it wasn't my entire belly that hurt.  I had also just finished a cup of third trimester tea shortly before this happened.  Any thoughts?

Answer

That doesn't sound like braxton hicks. Unless your whole uterus is tightening (it will feel very hard if you poke anywhere on your tummy). But I've been having that too, not with contractions. I'm going to ask my doctor next time I see him. I have no idea what it is, this is my second pregnancy.

Answer

My BH at 27 weeks are not painful at all. It's just a tightening of my uterus... I can watch it get hard and then relax. I haven't heard of BH being painful this early on... What you're describing sounds like round ligament pain to me. As long as your pain isn't progressive you're prob fine! Call your OB if it happens again and makes you feel concerned.

Answer

I had mild BH with my first and its normal. From what you're saying, it sounds like them. This is my second child and I had that pain for about an hour last week. It radiates from my lower tummy to my back the whole time. It helps though if you're hydrated, the pain is worse if you don't have enough water in your system.
