Braxton hicks? Worried FTM.

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!

  • Thanks ladies! Haven't had it happen again so I guess I'll just chalk it up to not drinking enough today!
