ugh I don't mean to sound so clueless but I really can't tell if I'm having contractions or just some indigestion. normally when I have a stomach ache it's up higher, but tonight my sides and belly are really uncomfortable. like something is pulling strings to tighten my belly, and my back is kinda sore feeling. so that's why I feel like maybe contractions. but I just ate some really cheap cheesy garlic bread and spaghetti sauce and haven't really eaten anything but crap all day so I know it could just be indigestion.

probably braxton hicks. they can be super mild or super intense.

@themommaoffour I've experienced some Braxton hicks before, I definitely feel that same tightness, so you're probably right, just more intense than I'm used to

@jdownin0511, the further along you get the more intense they can be. I've been having them a lot with this pregnancy and they get to the point it's hard to breathe.

@themommaoffour do you know anything that helps relieve them?

@jdownin0511, this is my 4th pregnancy and they're all new to me. I never had them with my girls. now I get them daily. talked to my midwife and she said it's normal unless you're having more than 4 an hour. it's very true that every pregnancy is different for sure
