Contractions will be very uncomfortable and you'll more than likely feel like they are preventing you to do anything. They basically feel like your whole tummy is tight and a cramp that doesn't go away. Braxton Hicks can feel similar but they won't be consistent. If you're concerned definitely go to l+d. I will say it's kinda normal around this time for you to feel uncomfortable all the time and find it hard to walk a lot.
@ashley I hear this all the time about the placenta rupturing. What exactly does that mean?😅
@ashley that’s sooooo scary!!!
I’m 30 weeks, I am contracting as well and have like periods cramps as well
I’m close to 32 weeks and I been having I think Braxton hicks and feeling pressure in my vagina. I also feel like a stabbing pain that comes and goes. Sometimes it’s strong and other times it’s not. Also scared she may come early !
You can breathe again , a little & Pain ! Lightening crotch & pelvis discomfort mostly . Idk what cramps nor contractions feel like bc honestly my pain tolerance is different. But I have been experiencing the tightness of stomach and then it goes away which is super annoying. I’m 31 wks but baby is measuring 3 wks bigger . I’m preparing myself to go in around 36/37 wks. I’m on baby #3 & due to my previous births ,being high risk and babies weight being low . it gets uncomfortable and painful the further I try to carry. Doctor has already told me, after this ultrasound it will determine if I will have them early or not .
I cramped my entire pregnancy with my son. The Dr told me I would know when I was in labor. I knew. It’s a lot more intense. He came at exactly 39 weeks.
