Braxton Hicks?`

RazorRoseRazorRose
in 2nd Trimester

Or just LO being a "pain"?   Ive started having these sharpish pains that last 1-2 seconds in my lower abdomen. Ive had plenty of RLP, & this does not feel similar. Its either on the left or right of my abdomen, slightly above the level of my pubic bone. They're annoying, but only last a few seconds & go away when I lie down or put my feet up. I dont feel that they're "wrong" & I still feel LO move, so Im not freaking out...just a concerned first timer who has no idea what to expect!

    I have no idea about BH, and I mean this totally honestly and not to sound judgey, but how do you pronounce your LOs first name? I've never seen "Llynya" before.

    BH for me were like practice contractions....they were painless though. My stomache got tight and hard and then relaxed to its normal softness and then started again after a few minutes....but didn't last long. I got them daily toward the end it seemed like.

    Braxton Hicks shouldn't be painful.  They should just be a tightening of the uterine muscles.  If its painful it might a feeling of your ligaments stretching, especially since you said the pains are very low down.  Do they go away when you rest?

    Baby's name is pronounced Lin-yah...its Welsh, and quite unusual I know :-)

    Its not necessarily that the feelings Im having are painful, but uncomfortable. They dont feel like the RLP stretching feelings Ive had before. More concentrated in one area for a time & then they fade. They do go away if I relax for a bit, but pretty much once Im up again they're back. Even sitting in my chair at work I get them a bit. I do not feel the stomach muscles tightening like some are explaining with BH. It could just be one of those random bits of discomfort that come with pregnancy, I suppose. Was just wondering if anyone else had experienced them. Hoping they dont last 14 more weeks :-)
