Weird belly feeling...

in Pregnant after IF
I was food shopping after work last night and started to feel strange....I'm a nurse and am on my feet ALL day. Anyway, my belly felt "tight" for lack of a better description, and I felt a little light-headed. I felt strange enough that I squatted right there, in the grocery store, and said out loud "what the hell is going on??" After a few seconds I got up to finish shopping, but I still felt strange. No pain, per se, but my belly felt odd....I went home, DH brought the groceries in, brought me a glass of OJ and propped my feet up with some pillows. I fell asleep and woke up fine, but was wondering if anyone (19 weeks or over) has ever experienced an overall tightness in their belly.....

Me:Hypothyroid DH: Type II diabetic. Together since 03/2007, Married 10/2011, D/C bc 10/2011. TTC: 11/2011. Charted BBT and CV along with OPK 10/2011-02/2012 Baseline labs 02/2012 WNL, SA 03/2012: botched sample by lab - destroyed hubby's confidence. 04/2012 Clomid 05/2012 Clomid 06/2012 Clomid 07/2012 Clomid and Ovidrel 08/2012 Ovidrel (I never knew that I was supposed to be monitored while on meds...I never was. I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality. DH started Pycnogenol. RE consult 01/15/2014.

    I have had that! I think it is Braxton-Hicks. I have noticed it when I don't drink enough or if I just am on my feet for too long. Since I have been able to get it to stop easy enough, I didn't call the OB, but I will be mentioning it at my appt on the 21st.

    Definitely sounds like BH. The best way to tell is to stop what you're doing and put your hand at the top of your uterus. If it feels hard and tight, you're having a contraction. If it's squishy, it's not a contraction.

    You did everything right mama by going and taking good care of yourself :)

    I haven't experienced BH yet (unless I didn't know it), but it sounds exactly like what I've read and learned that they feel like.

    I have BH all the time.   They are annoying to say the least.  I find I have them less when I take it easy and push the water :) Good luck!
