Hey ladies, I feel almost stupid asking this, but when did you start to feel braxton hicks contractions, I mean really FEEl them, last night I kept getting pain on the left and right lower sides of my stomach but cant tell if it was a contraction or round ligament pain, it was very irregular and and both sides would hurt at the same time, almost like a sharp tightening feeling, they last a few hours then just went away. But it scared the crap out of me. This morning it still hurts a bit but not nearly as bad. I am sure it's normal, but it's a bit scary. I tired to do everyhting for round ligament pain that my doctor told me to do (rub it and put ice on it) but that made it alot worse.
Re: Braxton Hicks??
Pregnancy #1- 30 weeks.
This time- 21 weeks.
Ditto pp. My OB said call immediately if there is accompanying cramping or pain; they may be real contractions.
