I feel like we're at that point where we just start to hurt all over. I almost called L&D because I had so much pain and pressure "down there". I knew my scan was early the next morning, so i figured I would just wait and mention it then. They said it is probably RL pain and if or persists, to go to L&D. It went away today, but I feel like anytime i mention a pain or something they say "oh it's just RL pain.." Or when you get further along "it's probably Braxton Hicks...come in if it gets worse..." So frustrating lol! My MIL calls the pelvic pressure pain "lightening crotch" and said it gets worse and you get it sooner with each pregnancy...
@kkerner87 I had a similar situation last week. I think I had a case of the lightning crotch too. I had lots of pressure and pain "down there." It would hurt even when I would sit down.. I was so paranoid too! I called my doctor's office and they said it was probably just RL pain and as long as there is no bleeding just to hold tight. It went away after a couple of days so hopefully it won't last too much longer for you!
@bluejeanbabi05 is it like a tightening of her stomach/abdomen causing mild pain? If so it's just the muscle contracting protecting baby while our bodies are active. I tend to get super tight ( and it hurts!!!) when im doing something and not thinking about taking it easy because I feel fine. Then bam, my mid section tenses up and pain ensues .
Bumping this thread since I already started one today, lol.
I've been having what feels like mild period cramps off and on for the last week. Normal? Scary? Braxton hicks? They worry me.
Normal-ish. Any weird discharge? I had about a week of random Braxton hicks a few weeks back. I tried to stay off my feet as much as I could and they went away. As long as they're mild, you're probably good, but go with your gut. If it starts to make you nervous and drinking lots of water and putting your feet up doesn't help - call your doctor.

@bluejeanbabi05 I agree with @natleilynn whenever I feel crampy that usually means i'm dehydrated. Trying drinking some more water? Although I have no idea what braxton hicks feel like.. Feel better!
Thanks ladies. I actually just left a message with the nurse it feels exactly like I'm about to start my period but before the really painful day one cramps. It's been every day. I have been on my feet a lot and pushing myself, so I'm sure it's that.
@bluejeanbabi05 I'm 22 weeks today and I started to have the same period like cramps. I started Googling like a mad woman because I can't remember if I felt it with DD at this point or not. From what I have read, it is normal. Uterus is making more room for LO! But glad you decided to call your doc. Can't be too careful. Let us know what they say. I know i have had some braxton hicks, which worried me. I don't remember them with DD this early, but i would get a cramp ( not painful or anything, Just uncomfortable) and i could feel the side of my belly get really tight!
Still feeling fatigued and out of breath at times. I've recently been experiencing increased heart rate intermittently, but not often. Discharge is getting heavier, and I'm super cranky.

I have had this stitch in my side all day. Like the kind you get from running and not stretching properly. It hurts from my rib cage to my hip. Ugh
