What could this be?

Question

I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and all of a sudden got like a bad bad pain in my stomach and it would radiate to my lower back and last like 30 seconds and then stop. It was very painful!!!!!! Especially when it radiated to my lower back. What could this be? Anyone else feel something like this?

Answer

It's either Braxton hicks of real contractions.   If they go away when you sit down and drink water then they are just BH which is normal. But if they continue and don't go away after an hour I was told I need to go in and have them check for preterm labor.

Answer

I would say definitely hydrate. I always go by taking a warm shower and trying to relax, if the pain starts to go away then I know it's just Braxton hicks, if not, I am in labor. It is definitely possible it is contractions so do your bet to relax but don't just ignore it if it persists. Good luck!

Answer

You could just need to drink more water, my doctor told me I needed to be drinking about a gallon a day... I kept going in for pains like that.
