can anyone explain a contraction? Ive had braxton hicks but this is completely different. its like a sharp pain but its under my ribs. it literally takes my breath away. itll last about 20 seconds then come back a few minutes later.
@mommakate1, that may be what it was because the minute i got up and started walking around it almost completely stopped. but that crap hurt super bad!
I talked all through my contractions sooo that isn't always the case. I know in my last few weeks my baby had her foot in my ribs so if I mad a weriod movement I would feel it and it felt horrible
thanks @zaysmomma i think it may have been movement. it hasnt came back but ill see what my doctor says about it in the morning
i think it may have been movement @kimberkatherine it stopped for now. i have an appointment in the morning so hopefully she will at least hold off until then lol
It could be really bad gas. My doctor has told me pains and movement that are closer to or around the ribs could be really bad pain from gas. I hope it goes away, momma! But it could be contractions starting, I'd call L&D and ask. Because some women don't feel contractions so strongly that they can't speak until they're fully going into labor. When they first start out, the pain may not be as intense.
@sweetheart1102, i can move and talk so i guessthis isn't a contraction lol
@ameiliaashlyn2016, you never know lol whatever makes it feel better
