So I'm a 27 weeks with my first ! And haven't had the best pregnancy ! Still get pretty sick and etc. but last night I was laying in bed and got a horrible cramp like feeling in my lower tummy and back at the same time ! It hurt pretty bad but I'm also not one for pain ! It lasted for a little bit then went away ! Is that normal ? Could it be like a Braxton kicks ? I honestly don't know but I was worried !
Re: Is this Normal ?
Sounds like round ligament pain. (The ligaments supporting your growing uterus.) It could also be a Braxton Hicks but those are normally described as a dull tightening. There have been a number of threads regarding round ligament pains and Braxton Hicks contractions. Try to search those two and you will get a slew of threads with some of the same symptoms you have described. But I am no doctor so if it is anything that has you overly concerned that it is not normal I suggest you call your doctor.
