Braxton Hicks?

Question

Hi this will be my first baby and I was wondering why I have upper abdominal pain for so long? I've read Braxton hicks but it says it should later for tops only 2 minutes but currently mines been going on and off for 20min. Is this normal or is this just a weird stomach ache? Haha

Answer

Sounds like rib pain to me. Either from uterus growing or your baby putting pressure there. It was hard for me to distinguish what it was at first but it hurts and can last a little while. Definitely worst part of pregnancy so far! It also usually goes along with back pain for me. Doesn't happen too often, maybe once a week. I'm 32 weeks.
