Anyone have similar pain? (sorry long)

A good 2 weeks ago, I was having a lot of pelvic pain, assume due to my hips moving (it felt like I'd rode a bike/horse).  Then the past 2 weeks, it just magically went away and I felt better than I'd felt my entire pregnancy.  Then yesterday at work, I began hurting some after lunch, just feeling like my stomache was really tight and needed somewhere to go.  By the time I left work (after somebody had to jump off my car...), the pain was increasing.  It almost felt like heartburn all over my stomach and was very tight.  It didn't feel like the BH I've had.  There were a few times it would seem worse, but for the most part it was a constant pain.  The pain was almost as bad as my gallbladder attacks last year and brought me to tears (I typically have a higher threshold for pain). 

After an hour of this pain, I pretty much collapsed when I got home.  I laid down with a heating pad on my back, tried to drink a lot of water and DH made me soup just incase it was early labor.  The pain got better, but it was painful again to get up from laying down, just not horrible.  Does this sound like contractions?  I'm trying not to over-react, but should I have called my doctor?  I felt so stupid because I know they'll ask if it's contractions and I don't really think it was, but it was horrible.

Re: Anyone have similar pain? (sorry long)

  • the hip pain is normal to come and go..at least for me it was.  i havent had the heartburn feeling all over but def. some intense tightening and my baby has dropped so shes literally punching me in the pelvis and it hurts really badly.i called one of my pains a charlie horse of my stomach muscles...maybe thats similiar to your pain.  it only lasted about 10 mins though.  i dont think it sounds like contractions....but im a ftm. it never hurts just to call the doc and ask...id rather be called stupid than have my baby in danger.  good luck!
