I am 36 weeks today. For about an hour I’ve had really intense, kind of painful pressure waves in my lower abdomen. The closest ones were 9 mins apart with the last one being about 22 mins apart. When it happens, or right beforehand, my baby kicks or moves like crazy. Can he tell a contraction is happening or about to happen or is what I am feeling him burrowing down low? They definitely feel different than Braxton Hicks I’ve had since about week 16.
