Stomach tightening?

Casas1989

So I’m on my third pregnancy. I do not know how far exactly I am, I just based it off my last period. Anyways, so today I’ve been starting to feel A LOT of stomach tightness, I know this feeling from my last pregnancies but they always came to me in my last trimester. Has anyone else been feeling this already?

I did have one day last week when I had some Braxton Hicks, which surprised me cause I didn't think they happened this early either. It made me paranoid that maybe I'm further along than I thought too. Make sure you are drinking enough water cause I think dehydration can bring them on.

I've had them a couple times already. I had painful bh from 24 weeks until I gave birth to my first, but now it's started at 9 weeks. And it's painful again 😩

Yep, I’ve felt them a couple times too. After walking for long periods of time/exerting myself. I got them frequently last time, but not this early (11w) so not super jazzed about it.

Yes, me too, every day. This is baby #4 for me, and it’s certainly a familiar feeling, but like you ladies said I’ve always felt it at the end of 2nd trimester/3rd trimester- never at 10 weeks! When it happens I try to drink a big glass of water and if I can, lay on my left side until they let up.

Oh wow! I definitely started getting them sometime in the 24-26 week time frame. I had to stop running around 28-30 weeks as they would start almost immediately when I would run. Haven't had any yet (9+5) but good to know. And yes, like @brie_and_almonds said water is definitely supposed to help *chugs water*

Edited b/c it's Wednesday, not Thursday so my ticker tells me I'm 9+4
