I have question about Braxton hicks contractions. So last night I woke up about 1:15 am, my usual time to wake up and have to use the restroom. I was fine until I got back in bed and I had what started out feeling like a gas pain on my left side. Soon as I laid down the pain intensified 20 times worse and shot across my abdomen right above my belly button to the other side. I'm not sure how long it lasted but it was the worst pain I have felt in my lifetime. I could not move, I don't even know if I was breathing at this point. If I had to guess it lasted about a minute. After it stopped I didn't have anymore. I was to the point I was gonna wake my hubby up and tell him to take me to the ER. But since it only happened one time I decided to just wait it out and see if it happened again. I have never experienced Braxton Hicks or any other contractions before. My question is does this sound like Braxton Hicks ?
I have never had my round ligament pain be that bad, but I'm sure it's possible. I mean anything is possible, it is pregnancy. I'm very grateful mine did not last that long. I just laid there and when it started getting worse I just did my best to roll on my other side cause I still thought Gas pain. But I don't think it was a gas pain anymore, not after how bad it got and lasted. Dealing with stomach issues since birth I have had some pretty bad stomach pains from Gas or constipation but this ended up being worse than anything I've felt before. After it calmed down some I got up and walked around and it stopped. The problem was just actually getting up. lol If it had started before I laid down I would have tried to walk it out but after laying down it was like a sudden shock pain.
That happened to me last night too!! But mine started at 2:26 pm n they started to ease up around 3:15 ... The pain was constant like a really bad cramp that just never eased up.. It would get so intense at times I couldn't walk or barley breathe and my belly would get so tight ... Omg I was soo ready to go the hospital.. I myself have no idea what it is.. But It was so intense I had to wake up my family cause it hurt so bad!!
BH is usually below the belly and feels like your stomach tightening up and gets hard sounds like u got a bad case of round ligament pain maybe from getting in the bed too fast
