Pregnancy pain normal or not??
Hey, I’m almost 24 weeks and the last week, especially this past weekend I have noticed things have been weird. I don’t know if I should call my doctor/go to the hospital or not.
I am a back sleeper so usually I end up waking up on my back but I know we are supposed to sleep on our side so I try to do that every night, the past 2 nights I have woken up in excruciating pain on the lower abdominal side that I slept on (in this case it was my right side). The pain slowly goes away throughout the day but for the first couple hours I can’t even stand up straight it’s so bad. I know this is not ligament pain.
I have also been experiencing back pain which hurts when I’m doing anything but it is very random.. one second I’m fine and then the next my back hurts and it just stays there constantly for awhile.
I have also been experiencing multiple Braxton Hicks contractions daily.. They aren’t regular but sometimes I’ll have 2-4+ in an hour and then maybe go an hour or more without any that are extremely uncomfortable. It’s not painful but the amount of pressure is insane sometimes I find myself breathing through them.
Any advice on if this is normal or if I should be concerned? I’m worried because as previously mentioned I’m only 24 weeks and this is my first pregnancy
