Strange?

Question

20 weeks with my twins and I've noticed when I walk around more then normal (at the mall and places like that) my stomach gets so crampy and uncomfortable. Not necessarily down below (although a little bit there) but mostly the sides. Like a just ate a huge meal before being active. Should I be concerned??!!

Answer

Sounds like Braxton hicks. They are normal and meant to prepare your body for the real contractions. Try to drink more water that usually helps.

Answer

Carrying twins takes a huge toll on your body it sounds normal but if your concerned just check with your dr it never hurts to be safe

Answer

It's been happening to me also if I walk too much or if I have to chase my 2 yr old (I have to stop taking him to the park or bring someone with me).  I get pain around the sides of my bump, like my muscles are stretching.  Is that what you're feeling? Since you're walking it could also be your abs contracting. When you have a baby bump your abs stretch and separate. They try to come together when you exercise and they can't, so you feel pulling and stretching.

Answer

My doctor told me it was more than likely ligaments stretching. He said unless they become constant and/or I start bleeding they are normal. I go to a high risk OB and his wife just had twins so I'm fairly confident he'll take care of my 2.

Answer

21w + 3D and this happens to me a lot. My doctor didn't seem concerned when I told him. Just stop and rest when that happens.
