Possible BH and something to be concerned abt? - Updated

Hello All,

Had some odd symptoms this morning but am feeling the baby move like normal now so not as worried.  Called the doctor and still haven't heard back so still wondering.  LO was moving as normal this morning, then all of a sudden I felt a tug/pull to the left of my belly button and LO stopped moving.  After a while of not moving, I felt a small kick.  Figured it was okay to drive into work and call the doc on the way (drank some milk prior to leaving hoping LO would start moving). Then started feeling a tightness/pulled muscle feeling all over my belly (is this BH?) and felt it for probably 20 min or more.  I did call the doc and I guess LO had white coat syndrome and started moving as I hung up.  Glad LO is moving in her normal pattern now. 

Has anyone else experienced this and is this normal?

Trying to be patient but its almost ben 2 hrs since I left the msg for the doc.  On a call at work right now but going to call again soon as I am done.

  • I think what you're describing is BH. It feels like you are tightening your stomach up and it's really tense, you can't make your stomach relax. If that's what you felt, I'm thinking that was BH.

  • The tug/pull could have been RLP.   Probably coincidental that LO stopped moving right then.  The tightness sounds like BH.  Maybe shouldn't have lasted for 20 minutes though.

    Thats what i was thinking

  • Thanks ladies.  I really appreciate the quick answers.. calms me down a bit.  Just called the nurse/doc again as its been 2 hrs and still no reply (which never happens).  Apparently she should be calling back soon.  .  Can I ask .. what is RLP?  Is it round ligament pain?  I've been having that other places and didn't realize I could have it near the belly button.  This is my 1st so everything is new and confusing.  Felt a bit different than the round ligament pain I've been having.  Wasn't painful like when that happens in my pelvic/lower abdomen area. 

  • The nurse just called back.  Looks like the tightness was BH and the tugging/pulling was just a new way for the baby to move (phew).  She said since the baby is growing, she was probably pressing on a nerve or moving in a different pattern which caused the tug/pull.

     Thanks for all your help ladies :)
