need some advice, I was having right stomach pain and it went to my lower half of my belly to my left side they felt like a cramping pain/tighting pain. I had the pain four times with in and hr and the pain from 2am-6am, they went away. could this be braxton hicks or could this be contractions?
Yea once they're the real thing like your actually in labor but then some woman on here has actually had nothing but back labor which I never heard of until coming on here where they only feel the pain in there back . So I guess it's different from person to person !! So just time them like you said and call in when you feel you have to . What day are you due on ?
@jeanetta25 I will definitely be keeping on eye on it more day and if they will return I will most definitely be calling the dr to see what they would like me to do. everyone has told me that contractions will be my whole stomach and not just on one side.
I would call labor and delivery just to be sure. I have met tons of people who were in labor but didn't know because their contractions weren't like how people described. better safe than sorry. call your doctor or call the nurse at your hospitals l&d and get a professional opinion
it could have been real contractions because braxton hicks is just pressure amd tighten feeling that tighten the stomach super umcomfortable sometimes little pain but nothing major . and they usually dont hurt your stomach in certain areas either from my experience ive had bh since 14 weeks with this pregnancy bad ones that came close in time as far as 7 an hr and it wasnt pain in certain areas just the tighten and pressure .the real ones in the begining do not hurt that bad for some for me it spread from my sides back and forth plus hard stomach cramping as you said it was painful but i could handle it .then to my back once they really started picking up which of course was a crazy amount of pain at that point . ive been having real contractions that sound alot like what your going through i only know they real because im high risk so i go for nst and sonos 3 times a week and they said those arent bh the way they spike on monitors . all you can do is take it easy or get to moving depends if you wanna speed them up or stop them . and continue to time them if you have more than 5 an hr call in and see what they want you to do @sayala24,
