1901977 tn?1333991726 Yes, it's possible to get them just on one side. It's just one side of the uterus contracting instead of the whole thing.
Avatar f tn Can you have contractions only on one side, or even braxton hicks contractions
Avatar f tn Can you have contractions on just one side? I am having dull achy pain ony left side that spikes every 10 -15 minutes. Could this be contractions?
Avatar f tn Im currently 35 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing severe pain down my right side from my rib to my hip, then occasionally spreading into my abdomen. This has been non-stop for over 24 hours now. I have also been getting constant Braxton hicks contractions, sweating, headache and a cramp in my leg that won't ease. I have had a very smooth pregnancy so far, so unsure of what is going on.
Avatar f tn Labor contractions will feel like menstrual cramps in ur lower abdomen. I used to get BH contractions all the time with my first pregnancy and it would come and go and never hurt.
1815473 tn?1336171200 So since I haven't gotten many feed back on here like I do on babycenter I was wondering does anyone get cramps on only one side on your first trimester? Like I hadn't had them just yet and tonight I am having them cramps ok and off like contractions... But mild though. Is it normal?
12584065 tn?1436320514 Is it normal to have psin on only one side during a contraction? Im 34+5 and when I get a contraction, I get an intense cramp pain from my back to my left ovary. Only the left side hurt really bad though. ?
Avatar f tn Okay so I'm 38+4, and today I got checked I'm 2Cm dialated. I inserted 2 primrose oil pills vaginally bout 2 hours ago or a little less and I'm getting like cramps on my left side but I don't feel them on my lower abdomen I feel them on my thigh up to my butt and back.. What foul this mean? I don't feel anything on my right side btw!
Avatar n tn I was just wondering if it's normal for my abdomen to be hard just on one side. I'm 17 weeks with my first. I had an ultrasound last week and my baby was really low on my left side and it's only hard on that side. My bff is a month ahead of me in her pregnancy and her whole belly's rock hard.
7417215 tn?1403487102 I literally just got home from my doctor and they had to stop my contractions. For me it started out in my lower abdomen on only the left side. They were so strong I couldn't move or breathe through them and it left me with tears in my eyes after each one. Those went away and about an hour later i started feeling a cramping that I can only explain as feeling almost like diarrhea cramps, in my whole belly.. It quickly started wrapping around into my back and my spine.
Avatar f tn I am 16 weeks 3 days pregnant and since yesterday I am feeling pain towards my left side of abdomen. It is not continuous but happens when I move or walk or bend down. Can anybody share her experiences and reason if she has been suffering through same pain?
Avatar f tn Drink a glass of cold water lay on ur left side and time contractions for an hr if they go away it's false labour if continue then go to hospital..
Avatar f tn I'm 34+3, and I've been having weird pains on my right side all night too. The pains are nothing alike though.
Avatar f tn Are they just braxton hicks and the pain come along with the harding of my abdomen? Or does my abdomen harden and I get low pelvic pain? What is the pain like? Menstrual cramps? Any advice is welcome, I'd really appreciate it! Also timing contractions; do you keep track of how long each contraction is and how frequent they happen?
297280 tn?1226706405 t think they are limited to one side or the other of the abdomen. I can also feel the tightening inmy stomach without putting my hand onmy abdomen. You probably are just feeling the baby pushing and turning.
Avatar f tn ve also been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past month but they were mostly mild pain in my lower abdomen and my stomach hardening and once I would lay on my left side and drink a bunch of water they would eventually subside. Also the baby is still moving but when he kicks during the cramping it feels like my uterus is going to break open. Is this what contractions feel like or does it sound just like normal pregnancy pains?
5724951 tn?1392422353 i keep getting pains on my lower right abdomen. theres no spotting or anything. Is this just stretching, or should i be worried. they seem somewhat rythmatic how they are hurting. please help!!
3197047 tn?1345768894 You will feel true contractions all over!!
Avatar f tn If they were contractions, your whole belly would tense up like a hard rock during the height of one. Then it would release at the end. Cramping on your left side may be ligament pain, or possibly even a kidney stone (I had two while I was pregnant, and round ligament pain the whole time). Speak about this with your midwife or OB and they can put a fetal monitor around you to check for contractions or fetal movement.
Avatar f tn Hi , i am 39 w 4 d pregnant . Iam feeling very low pain in my lower abdomen in left side , like periods , but no water break no bloody show . I am confused if its contraction or sumthing else ?
Avatar f tn I'm 36 and a half weeks pregnant I've had this extreme period like pain in my lower abdomen, more in the right side but now it's spreading.. The pain gets more intense sometimes too.. he's still moving though. Been happening for over an hour now took paracetamol when It started and it hasn't gone away, tried sitting, standing and now I'm laying down and it's still here! I don't know what to do, like I've been crying it hurts..
Avatar f tn Usually the right side of my abdomen. Sometimes the center or lower part. I could touch my belly and feel the hardness.
Avatar f tn I'd go ahead and call your Dr. Just to be on the safe side...

6363715 tn?1394225781 This is my third pregnancy and i have never experienced contractions on one side. Your whole stomach should be getting extremely.tight and hard(usually 3-5 minutes apart for an hour or more)That is a contraction which can be followed or accompanied by cramps and back aches.
Avatar f tn It may even feel different from one pregnancy to the next. Labor contractions cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and/or lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. Some women may also feel pain in their sides and thighs. Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps, while others describe them as strong waves that feel like diarrhea cramps. How Do I Know When Contractions Indicate True Labor?
