Round ligament pain or Braxton hicks??

Question

Hi everyone I'm now 23wks today with a baby girl and I'm due on May 2 2016 and I was wondering does this sound like I'm just having my normal round ligament pains or are theses Braxton hicks. So I have been experiencing for about a couple of days now some pains where as they seem to make my uterus tighten up and the only thing that gets it to stop doing that tightening is by me drinking water and or walking around and then they stop and I go back lying down but then they start again back up and they hurt bad sometimes then others but no they don't last long and they stop when I walk around or I drink some water. So I was wondering is anyone else experiencing this and am I having Braxton hicks or just my regular round ligament pains??

Answer

Brixton hicks usually don't cause any pain, round ligament pain is super common and best way to ease it is warm packs or baths and rest! Water also helps the muscles re hydrate and relax. :)

Answer

Not trying to confuse anyone, but it does sound like Braxton hicks. Which are very common dyeing the second and third trimester, and CAN be painful. Not usually, but dehydration will most definitely cause Braxton contractions, and when that is the case they can be uncomfortable to the point of pain. However, since resting and staying hydrated are the remedy for both of these conditions, hopefully doing so will bring you relief. Good luck!
