So last night in the middle of the night I woke up three times to a breathtakingly painful cramp in my whole abdomen. My tummy got all hard and seized up like a Charlie Horse. It hurt so much I had tears and couldn't breathe... my husband helped me out of bed so I could walk around and it didn't go away for about a minute each time. I called my midwife and they want me to go for an ultrasound tomorrow to check on things but I'm confused and worried about what it might be. I'm a first time mom so I don't know what contractions feel like...not even sure I've had a BH contraction yet, but I know they aren't supposed to be painful? This sent a shooting pain in behind my pubic bone and all day today I've been feeling like my muscles ache and hurt from the cramps last night. Has anybody experienced this before?
