Should I go to the doctor?

Question

I am 35 weeks and 1 day and for the past 2-3 days i have been feeling sharp pains in my abdomen. Like light menstrual cramps, kinda what I would expect braxton hicks to feel like (I don't k how what they're supposed to feel like) but there is not tightening in my stomach or anything. Should I go to the doctor and ask?

Answer

Unfortunately you’re describing what I would say are normal late pregnancy complaints. Braxton hicks tighten your tummy so they aren’t what you’re feeling. They are quite uncomfortable but aren’t like period cramps. Your pelvis and everything around it is currently stretching to prepare for birth. The best advice I can offer is taking a warm bath, taking tylenol as often as prescribed and resting.

Answer

No. Also Braxton Hicks won’t hurt.
