Crampy belly?

Question

Hi ladies! I am 32 weeks and a FTM. Lately at night mostly I have been having a crampy belly. All over my belly is crampy. Yesterday this happened all morning. It's not painful, I'm just worried. I don't think this is Braxton hicks? I am not sure though because I've never been through this before. Is this common? My next doctors apt is November 3. Any thoughts?

Answer

Sounds like Braxton hicks.. I got them a lot with my first near the end. Probably called the nurse/doctor way too much lol but drink water and lay on your left side. Until they get very consistent and painful you should go in. Also, call your doctor.. Since I'm not a nurse or doctor. Just saying from experience. Now with my second I've felt my Braxton hicks contractions a lot sooner.. It's tightening all over my belly and kinda takes my breath away. Totally normal! Good luck! Not too much longer for you!!

Answer

If it's all over your belly then yes those are Braxton hicks. It's like a tightening feeling in your abdomen area. If they really seem to bother you I would call the doctor.
