What is this?

Question

Every time I stand on my feet I have a constant contraction. Like it doesn’t let up and my entire belly gets so hard. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just uncomfortable. What should I do? Is this Braxton Hicks? I thought Braxton Hicks were pretty quick? Still feeling good baby movement, I just feel like I need to lay down now. I’m 34+6!

Answer

Mine is constantly hard when standing or walking - constantly. Not BH type, just hard. And it has done that for 3 weeks. Now I’m 37 and they still say everything’s super healthy so... I just figure it’s our bodies way of keeping baby safe when we walk around. I dunno. Best I can figure!

Answer

Same here! I feel like I'm constantly having a contraction when I'm sitting or standing. I don't think I'll know when I'm in labor because of it. Until it turns into real pain I won't go to the hospital. Idk 😕

Answer

Sounds like BH and your body telling you it’s time to slow down. If it eases up when you rest, it’s not labor. Expecting my fourth baby and I have a lot of BH too, especially when I am active. I am just starting to slow down at work, taking a day off here and there and trying to make things a bit easier with meals, etc. Hang in there!
