Weird feeling on one side

Today when my husband and I were running errands I starting having a tightness and weird feeling on my left side only. ?I haven't felt this before and I don't know what it could be. ?So far all my RLP has been really low, could it be this and it's now just higher? ?Because it's only one side I don't think it's a BH contraction. ?I am now home and just laying down, but wondering if anyone else had this. ?TIA

This seems familiar to me but I can't remember what my doctor told me about it.  I remember having pains on one side and all I can think of is just make sure the pain is not near your appendix.  When it comes down to it though it is most likely one of the babies pushing against an organ or maybe you were a little dehydrated.  I would just mention it at your next appointment, never hurts to be thorough.

Thanks. ?I called and spoke to the on-call OB who said that it was likely a baby pressing on something and things moving, but that if it continued to go to L&D. ?She suggested that I rest and i've been laying down and it seems to be helping. ?It's just scary when you feel something that you are not familiar with. ?

No kidding, I was constantly asking one of my co-workers who had kids about every little thing I was feeling.  I'm sure I drove her nuts but she was great about it.  To my thinking, you can never be too careful and it never hurts to ask if you are unsure about what is going on or concerned.

I've had this, I think.  I kind of compare it to having a cramp in my side when exercising... is that how it feels to you?  I've definitely noticed it when I've been on my feet a lot and sometimes if I get up/move to quickly from a seated position.  I mentioned it to my OB who said it was likely stretching or one of the babies pushing on something.  It typically goes away if I sit or lay down for a little while.  Hope that helps!
