OKay.... so I am starting to have tightness in my stomach alot latley, and a deep sharp pain about 6 inches below my belly button.  Is this what braxton hicks feels like?  Should I call the doctor?  It only happens when I have been standing or sitting up all day... like today I have had a 10.5 hour work day.

It sounds like it could be braxton hicks. Are you making sure to keep yourself hydrated ruing these long work days?  If your worried call your doctor and they can reassure you whether or not this is what it might be.

I have been having these alot lately. I am 30 weeks and I notice it when I start getting worn out. Make sure you drink alot of water-that seems to help me. And I think most doctors say if you have more than 6 and hour that you need to call.

It does sound like BH.  Ditto pp, are you staying hydrated?  If you haven't already, drink tons of water right now and put your feet up.  If you are really worried, I would call your doctor just to reassure yourself.

Definelty sounds like a BH.  I hd them a lot when I was pregnant with DS and had no clue what it was, I thought DS was just pushing against me with his head or butt.
