I am 19w2d and about 15 minutes ago while driving my stomach felt incredibly weird. The only thing I know to say is i felt it tighten really, really quickly. I was on the phone and I didn't think to feel the outside of my stomach. It wasn't painful and I guess I wouldn't even say it was uncomfortable. It only lasted about 10 seconds. Could it have been Braxton hicks? Is it too early? I don't know if it matters but my water intake hasn't been much today and I am constipated. I am going to go drink a ton now that I am home but I don't know if I should be concerned or not. SOrry for the stupid question.
Try drinking more water. If you get dehydrated, it can cause BH contractions.
This!
Get your feet up and relax for a little bit too. I get a weird crampy feeling sometimes when I have to pee. Not sure why, but I don't find it alarming.
I'd be alarmed if you noticed a pattern between your contractions.....one every 5 min or so. Then you've got a problem. This is probably nothing to be worried about.
I've had this happen a few times in the past couple of weeks -- not at all painful just a sensation that I definitely notice. It usually happens when I am lying down.
Actually happens to me at least once a day...I thought at first it was the baby pushing up against my belly, which it still may be!! I dont think it's abnormal!
Re: Braxton hicks? Worried FTM.
