Pain, Braxton Hicks?

Question

Hi All, I went to the doctor Monday everything was fine got to see my little guy! Monday night I'm not for 100% but I feel I was having Braxton Hicks and it was worse laying down and pretty terrible on both sides as well. Since then 3 days ago it has pretty much continued through the days and picks up even worse at night.
It's like a pain, cramp like in my whole stomach area and my stomach gets crazy tight! 
I'm just wondering if anyone else is going through this, it's so very uncomfortable and pretty much a constant pain that increases at night, I do not like to complain so I feel like it's okay and normal but what the heck! I still got 3 months to go and I'm hoping it will lighten up soon?! Thanks :)!!

Answer

I was having the same issue a week ago. It didn't stop for days and my stomach was sore from it. My midwife said it isn't common to get that many but it's also not concerning as long as their are no other symptoms with it. She said drink more water as dehydration can bring them on. She said a full bladder or constipation can also trigger them. She said when they are bad just prop up feet and have a glass of water to try to get them
To subside. Hope this helps!

Answer

Very normal! Definitely drink a big glass off water and rest if they come more than sporadically.

Answer

My Braxton contractions have picked up the last two days as well- but they are my exactly "painful", rather uncomfortable. I notice my tummy getting hard as a rock, normally towards the end of the day- when I'm most worn out and tired. I'm getting a bit worried, but I also went to the dr and they said all it was fine.

Answer

In the same boats but doctor said it is due to me being sick and having low oxygen and fluid intake. I cannot breathe when trying yo drink or eat.

Answer

I'm experiencing the same thing. Hoping this is normal.
