I’m 29+3 with baby #2. I never got Braxton Hicks with my first baby, or at least I never noticed them. But on & off all day today I’ve been getting painful tightening near the top & middle of my tummy.

On a scale from 1-10 (1 being nothing, 10 being the worse pain ever) they’re about a 4.

On top of this I’ve been getting what I think is lightening crotch but in the form of pelvic pressure. It’s a pinch but it also feels like there’s a bowling ball sitting on my cervix. It’s hard to explain.

I almost had my husband take me to L&D earlier but I tried laying down for a little while first & they did stop. But now it’s 5 hours later & they’re back...
