Contractions?

Question

So I keep having on and off tightening in my stomach and back pain. Is that contractions? It feels like she is just gonna burst through my stomach! I’m 28 weeks. Is this normal? I don’t wanna call and bug my doctor if it’s nothing serious. Help me moms! 😩😩😩

Answer

Call and bug your doctor 
I was having what I thought were inconsistent Braxton Hicks today, but they wouldn’t go away after several hours so I went into the hospital at the advice of a L&D nurse. 
Turns out I was actually contracting every 5 minutes and now they want to see me for weekly NSTs as I’m high risk for preterm labour. 
No one here is able to give you reliable medical advice so it’s always better to go get checked. Better safe than sorry.

Answer

They can be Braxton Hicks

Answer

Sounds like Braxton Hicks.

Answer

Call because you never know it’s just what to be checked. Don’t think it’s a bother if it turns out to be nothing concerning you rather be safe than for it to be something to worry about

Answer

I would call your doctor and tell them about it if it doesn’t go away. It could also be normal because as the baby grows your uterus expands and is preparing for baby to arrive
