Anyone experienced this? (pregnancy-related)

Today, I was shopping at Babies R Us in Buffalo ( I'm from Canada) and I started having these really horrible cramps.  If I bent over or sat down, they felt a bit better, but as soon as I stood up I could barely walk.  They felt like very bad menstrual cramps.

I nearly panicked thinking that I was going into premature labour!


But then, about 10 minutes later, I was fine.

Anyone else had something similar happen?  I have an appointment with my OBGYN tomorrow anyway, and will obviously ask him about it, but just curious if anyone knows what the heck I'm talking about.

    Did your belly harden or was it just an internal feeling?

    Maybe Braxton-Hicks? I really have no idea what those are...I guess google it if you're not sure. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

    Sorry!

    I'm pretty sure I know what Braxton-Hicks contractions are (meaning that I think I've been having them) and they don't really hurt.

    These just felt like really bad menstrual cramps...no tightening feeling.  And they didn't come and go, so after a few minutes I figured out that my worries about "premature labour" probably didn't make sense...

    Perhaps just more ute stretching, and organs moving to accommodate your belly hog. Definitely bring it up tomorrow but you're probably okay since it went away.

    If I remember correctly (it's been a while), I KNEW BH, and I KNEW real contrax when they happened, but there were a number of random pains that felt like neither of those.

    Thanks for your reply :)

    I actually kind of like the Braxton-Hicks feeling - that probably sounds very odd.  But I guess I like that it's another sign that my body knows what it's doing.

    This morning I got some really weird feelings while I was throwing up (yup, still got some morning sickness) I DEFINITELY think that was the "my organs are moving to places they aren't supposed to be" feeling.

    I'm glad I had an OB appointment tomorrow - will at least put my mind at ease!

    I had that occasionally when I was pg. Usually it was when I had been overdoing it. When I rested, it stopped.
