Contractions or gas pains.

I worked today and possibly over did myself, but I am getting sharp like contractions every few minutes.. This will be my second child, so I know what contractions feel like and this feels pretty darn similar.. My belly is tightening and I also feel the pain in my back how I did last pregnancy.. But I'm wondering if this could be false and just be gas pains.. When they hit it cripples me and it feels almost like last time. I'm worried sick now and feel like I'm going to puke as well

I would call your OB after hours number for some reassurance. Try to relax, thinking of you!

Stronger, longer, closer together is the rule.

Id call and let somebody know. You might just have irritated your uterus. But time the pain while you wait to hear.

Yep like pp's said I would call and let someone know and try to take it easy till you hear from them. Drink lots of water and rest with your feet up.

I would time them. Get a contraction timer app if you don't have one and just use it to see how long they last and how far apart they are. They should have an established pattern if they are real contractions. Definitely try to relax and drink some water. If they are crippling you, it certainly sounds like something that's worth a call to your clinic.

Thank you ladies! They finally stopped.. Hopefully it stays that way. They felt exactly like my contractions with my last pregnancy and much more intense that my previous Braxton hicks.. I have worked very hard and long at work the past couple days so I'm thinking I may have just over did myself? They def brought me to my knees they hurt so bad, but I took a bath and have laid on the couch and propped my feet up and I've been feeling much better.. If they happen to come back as severe it will def call my ob
