contractions in your stomach

I will be 37 weeks tomorrow :) :). Can you feel like pre contractions or contractions in your lower back? What i feel is like really bad pain in my lower back for like 30 seconds or a min. nd then it releases nd the 2nd one was shorter. I feel the pain and then it releases are those contractions? Thanks in avance :) :).

Believe me you will know when they are real contractions. The pain starts from the back sbf works its way to the front along with your stomach tightening. It will take your breath away.what L&D told me before I went in is to make sure it was real labor to take benadryl and if I can sleep then it was false labor and if I couldn't sleep after taking it then it was real labor because nothing will take the pain away. Good luck mama!

People will say wow your stomach is really tight.. but then 10 mims later there like hmmm..your soft again.. is this normal? They have me wondering. Again just uncomfortable, not really pain.. the only pain I have experienced is in my who-ha, when it feels like someone is stretching me from side to side... anyone have any thoughts?

m 29 weeks with baby #2 and all of a sudden I am getting these extremely sharp pains in my stomach. I know feeling my uterus stretch is normal and it could just be that but the keeps going on and off again. It's not a constant pain. It starts then last a couple seconds then stops and starts again. It also is making me feel sick to my stomach :( any idea what it might be or do you think it's normal.

Is the cramping at the top of your stomach or the bottom? Contractions start at the top of your uterus and move down. Your stomach will also feel hard during contractions.

I'm feeling some pressure in the front of my stomach every once in a while lately. Seems to be after I've been standing or walking for a period of time. Is it just the baby pushing against the front of my uterus causing pressure or is it something I should be concerned about?

So my doctor wants me to start feeling once a day for an hour on my tummy to see if I have contractions and how many.. but where on my stomach do I place my hands to feel the contractions?

It will feel like the baby is balling up in your uterus. That's what Braxton Hicks Contractions feel like and, while they might be uncomfortable, they are not painful like labor contractions.

Im 30 weeks and 4 days. I went in to my hospital two weekends ago and was having early contractions and they had to stop the labor because I was too early. For these past two days or so I've had really bad pain in my vaginal area (almost feels like I'm opening up) and my stomach hurts and tightens up a lot. I can't tell if they're contractions or just the baby moving a lot? How do I know the difference? Ps: sorry, don't mean to gross anyone out...serious question though.

Not like im going to be sick, but an actual ache, like an ache you would have in your back. Its hurts more when I try to sit up, or bend over. im 29wks, anyone know what this may be? Is it normal? my baby has been moving alot which is good.

d try walking and a bath, usually you can at least feel a tightening in your stomach if they are contractions but not always, so just keep timing and see what happens

Anyone else feel like pressure in your butt hole (tmi) lol cause every time I get a cramp I feel it there too

Hi ladies, in the last two weeks or so I've noticed that off and on all day my stomach will tighten up until it gets pretty hard and then will soften up again. It only lasts about a minute at a time. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It doesn't hurt or anything, but my stomach will feel so heavy when it's happening. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone or like something bad?

Hi im 36 weeks and 5 days ive been to the toilet 3 times already and getting what feels like contractions but in my back they are really painful ive been having bad back ache for 2days.

Contractions feel like a wave of tightness in your stomach. They start small and peak then slowly subside again. A constant tightness or contraction can be a sign of an irritable uterus which is common but not fun.

t feel well so I went to bed. While laying down all of a sudden I felt a tightening like pain in my back and stomach. It lasted about three minutes and it was so bad I was in tears. I got up and sat down in the living room and it disappeared. I have yet to feel braxton hicks or contractions but at a recent hospital visit he said I had two while I was there. Was that a contraction or just a very random/strong pain?

And ... I just realized this was from August...

Sorry lol your due in nov. Your fine it's just pressure from the baby ..

My contractions tightened my whole stomach.

Veteran momma here...it's Braxton Hicks. They are annoying little buggers but only last for a short amount if time. That is your body's way of getting you ready to handle the real deal when your due date comes or baby is ready to make his/her appearance..good luck!

Not everyone experiences back labor, so just tightening in your stomach could be a contraction.

I know how they feel but I forgot does your stomach get hard while having one? I think I'm having bh but it's been allll day off and on pain in my back but my stomach doesn't harden the pain is getting worse as the day passes .

Contractions make your stomach hard but with pain like menstrual cramps. Could be braxton Hicks which makes your stomach tight but no pain. How far along are you?

m 31 weeks and I was laying in bed when I had these really sharp pains in. my lower stomach by my pelvic bone. it lasted maybe a minute and it happened just twice? I'm a ftm so I was just wondering if that what it was or just something else.

If your stomach gets hard all over, not just in one spot, it's a contraction. They don't have to hurt. In fact, Braxton hicks contractions typically don't. If they start getting noticeable when you're not touching your stomach, make note and time them if you've had more than four to six in an hour.

I am 29 weeks and have pain all over in my stomach. Everything I try to get comfortable doesn't work. Sorry for tmi but watery stool feel like throwing up. What could be happening?

Contractions will harden your WHOLE stomach and be accompanied by pain in your lower abdomen (like period cramps) or in your back. If your belly is getting hard with the pain it could be a contraction, otherwise it is probably just your body stretching stuff out to make room for baby.

When I started getting contractions it felt like pain in my lower stomach and back many say like mentstral cramps but it didn't feel like that at first till later well at least for me

With contractions your stomach will get really hard and feel super tight...

m not hot or dehydrated, actually I feel perfectly fine, other then the contractions. Anyways is this normal, can contractions cause me to heat up only in those areas?
