Pain in Abdomen

Okay, I’m 27 weeks today. I’ve had Braxton-Hicks contractions off and on for a few weeks now. They’re uncomfortable but not very painful.

Starting yesterday afternoon/evening my stomach has been tight and painful. I had some water and some fruit, and I felt a little better. Not 100% but better.

Last night it would wake me up some. I figured I was coming down with something. I wasn’t nauseous but I felt like if I could just throw up it would relieve the pain.

This morning I had a little diarrhea and some vomiting. So I still figured I just had a bug. Everything I get up I feel worse: I made it to church this morning because my daughter was doing Stations of the Cross. As I’m sitting in church I realized the pain is coming in waves - even when sitting or laying. It’s better when laying on my side but I still feel it. It’s like my whole stomach.

The thing is, I’m not nauseous. But it hurts. I’m trying to get some fluids down me but it’s not the best feeling.

So this isn’t my first pregnancy, but I never went into labor with my first. So I don’t know what to think. Could it be contractions or am I just freaking myself out?
