cramping, pressure, and constant BH??

in May 2012 Moms

All day I've been having BH contrax. Around lunch time they started coming with some achy, cramping, but then that stopped. I have been having this feeling of having to have a BM constantly. About an hour ago, it started feeling like the BH are just coming one on top of the other. It's so uncomfortable. My stomach is so tight. It's making me feel anxious. I'm having some mild, constant cramping and dull pains in my back. I feel like all this tightening isn't good for the baby and is very uncomfortable for me? Anyone else having this? It is so weird.

    I feel the same way. The tightening isn't super painful, but it definitely crossed uncomfortable. How long are you BH lasting? Mine are at about 45sec. I think they're real contractions, just not labor ones.

    Me! I feel like I can't time anything because it is pretty constant. My cramps and backpain do seem to be better at some times vs. others, but there isn't a consistent pattern. Also, these BH/regular contractions ball up my stomach like none other. I look like a caricature of a pregnant lady with basketball out in front. But my back pain and cramping are not correlating with my tight stomach. I'm confused.

    I'll have a really strong one lasting about 35-45 second every 10 mins or so. Then I've been getting what feels like mini ones lasting about 20 secs or less every few minutes. It's so annoying. It's like a bunch of mini ones and then one that is so tight it takes my breath away and feels sore.

    I've been feeling the same way all day, and it's definitely gotten more intense since lunchtime.  I'm going to try to give it a few more hours to see how things progress.  If they go away or stay at the same intensity then it's nothing, but if they get worse, I'll be making a call to hubby at work.

    Yes, yes yes yes. This is exactly how I feel too. The cramping is coming and going and sometimes coming with a BH. The BH are sometimes very strong and I can practically count the toes on the baby the skin is so tight.

    Right there with you ladies! All the same feelings here, too. Wish I knew how long it would be until the real show gets started!
