I've been having this horrible cramp feeling in my stomach for a few hours now. It feels like when you run too much and get a catch in your side, except on the sides of my tummy to my belly button. It hurts!! I can't tell what this is. I e had gas before and this is not it. It comes and goes. I have not timed it because I don't know if it's a contraction. Drinking water and walking doesn't help. I'm 28 weeks and 3 days.
It sounds like round ligament pain, basically your uterus stretching and growing. Contractions or even Braxton Hicks feel like your whole stomach is tightening. Not everyone gets the round ligament pain and you can get them at different times of your pregnancy. I never got them with my son but have them really bad this time with my daughter. You can try resting, warm bath, some yoga poses or kinesio tape to help. I hope you find something that helps :)
Oh ok. Yeah I tried to wait till my appointment tomorrow but I couldn't so they got me in this morning instead..
Very true. I've been trying to avoid it because I am going in on Thursday :) @autumnsmomma125
I'm a FTM too so I'm not positive :/ I'm sorry. If you get worried you can always call the on call nurse or L&D and ask them.
I've never had contractions before so I have no clue! All I know is it goes away sometimes but almost feels constant and it hurts so much! @autumnsmomma125
I've had similar but it was also in my back and my doc told me today that it was just baby girl growing and stretchin my insides.. But idk if that's what's going on with you because I'm farther along. I would time them if it feels like contractions. I hope it gets better 💕
I get that feeling ALL the time! I think it's stretching!
