Ok so I'm having what I thought was Braxton Hicks but now I'm not too sure. My stomach is tightening up really hard with cramping and a lot of pressure in the pelvic/vagina area with some slight back pain. I try to change positions or get up and walk around but my stomach won't loosen and pain doesn't go away. Please tell me these aren't real contractions? 😩

I've been having the same thing. My doctor said it's normal and not to panic until they make it hard to walk and talk. It's just your cervix trying to dilate, but I'd still ask your doctor

@buggabean, they stopped for awhile and now they're back! Ugh ok hopefully they don't get to that point. He still needs to cook longer lol. I was just telling my husband this morning that I think I've dilated I just have this weird feeling that I have. We'll see I got a dr apt on Friday and I get checked for strep b test so she might check for any dilation.

Go for a walk. Take a warm bath. Drink a lot of water. Tylenol. It happened to me a lot

my best friend's mom who is a L&D nurse kinda scared me tonight. she asked if I've been contracting a lot bc she saw me holding my belly... and 6 or more in an hour isn't good (for how far along I am,) and she says I need to get my cervix checked. they're not painful, so I thought BH were fine? I have an appt Tues so I'll ask about it.

@nowmrspost, yeah I'm really curious as to what my cervix is like right now and if I've dilated at all. I have this feeling when I go to my apt on Friday she's going to tell me that I have. We'll see though. I've definitely had more than 6 BH in an hour before. Let me know how your apt goes on Tuesday.

@kayleeburton, man I tried all that today and nothing was working but it finally did stop. Such a painful day! I just took another bath with some lavender Epsom salt hopefully that helps me sleep better tonight since I always get the worst pains and stomach tightening while trying to sleep!
