BTDT - Help BH'S???

in June 2013 Moms
Minor freak out. Yesterday I was having bad cramping menstrual like wrapping around to my back. Timeable but sporatic. A little bit more today off and on but lots of Braxton Hicks tightening. Id say more than 4 an hour but not painful. I thought I just needed to go #2 but have been doing that and drinking lots. Scarlett feels lower today when she moves. Question...when you felt like you have Braxton Hicks does it feel like the baby wants to spring out of your abdomen?? I thought maybe it was just her moving around??  This sounds so silly because I feel like I should know this, but never experienced anything like this with my son.  I have an appointment on Wednesday to see my OB so I plan on mentioning all of this to her.  My friend thought maybe I had a UTI and that is what is causing all of this.  Im just curious what you all think.

TIA

    I don't have any advice. when I have mine, its like I have a hard time breathing and my belly gets really tight. Maybe try taking a warm bath and see if that helps.

    I'm a FTM, but I've had a whole lot of BH with this pregnancy.  My uterus just feels really hard - and I get a tightening feeling.  It's uncomfortable in that it pushes even more against my ribs, but not really painful beyond that.

    I have heard of UTIs causing increased BH.  Hasn't been the case for me so far, but it could well be that.

    Thanks ladies. Taking a warm bath now and just trying to relax since DS went to bed. Hoping to relax the rest ofthe night as well. She is moving around alot right now so maybe things are just starting to get really tight and snug in there too

    FTM here but I've also had a lot of the tightening. This morning I had menstraul like cramps for the first time and I had to go lay back down until they stopped. They were timetable as well. Totally freaked me out and I was considering the dr if they didn't slow. I guess we're all getting to the point when LOs are ready to make their appearances.

    I know what you mean. When I get them it feels like LO is pushing himself outwards!
