Braxton hicks?

in 3rd Trimester
Hello,
Just starting 3rd trimester and wondering if I have been having Braxton hicks. Here and there I get a sharp squeezing pain below my bump that doesn't last long. I also am starting to feel shortness of breath now.

    BH feel different for everyone so I can't tell you and neither can anyone else on the internet. But if it were me, I would call the doctor If I was in pain so bad it caused shortness of breath, that's just common sense. At least I thought it was...

    No no sorry for confusion. Didn't cause shortness of breath. Just saying now in pregnancy starting to feel that with baby getting bigger

    Yes, this sounds like it. If they become frequent, lie down on your left side and drink as much water as you can. Beware a full bladder will make them active as well. Keep your Dr informed.

    You will learn them quickly and how to help ease them. Drink a lot of water. Wait until baby gets even bigger. Home stretch. Good luck! (I also agree to keep dr well informed)

    BH feel different for everyone but are often described as squeezing or tightening.  Stay well hydrated! 
    Shortness of breath is normal as your uterus grows and LO starts taking over your space.
