Touching or using stomach muscles

minervacullen · October 2012

If my son or DH push on my tummy, or I lean so that pressure gets put on it (like bending so that tummy get pressed into legs or getting off the toilet), I get a painful BH. It also happens when I use my ab muscles (what little seems to be left anyway). Like I'll go to sit up, roll over, move, and bam. I didn't have this with DS at all and am not quite sure what to think about it. Some times it extremely painful, other times it's just the normal tightening. Anyone else experiencing this?

yes. i get a huge one anytime i get up at night to pee, too. i did have the same thing in my last pregnancy, so for me, at least, it is normal.

My belly does the same thing. I notice it most often at night when I roll over or get out of bed to pee. It is never painful for me, just a very tight feeling.

Yes, a lot! Same as you, didn't get hardly any BH with my first pregnancy but I get them lots now. Also, walking or activity will do it. I took a relaxed walk to the playground 2 blocks away with DS yesterday and it triggered a ton of BH! I'm half hoping this means I'll go into labor sooner rather than later, but half worried that I might go into preterm labor!

However when I mentioned it to my Dr he did not seem concerned at all, as long as they didn't continue or intensify like labor contractions.
