Sudden sharp pains-26 weeks

I just hit the 26 week mark and as I was laying down I felt this sudden sharp pain which lasted less than 30 seconds and after that my stomach felt a bit hard. Braxton Hicks? Ftm.

  • Probably a mix of BH and ligament pain. I've never had BH feel sharp but round ligament pain definitely feels sharp. The tightening sounds like BH. Totally normal.

If you'd like to join, please post in introduction in the Intro thread, read through the ***READ THIS FIRST*** thread, and get to know us. This sort of question usually belongs more in the Symptoms thread.

    We tend to discourage one-off posts that are just a single person asking a question just about them, and are geared towards a common discussion point as a thread, so everyone can discuss the same topics in the same place.

    Sudden sharp short lasting pain in abdomen with movement sounds like round ligament pain. If it was more in your crotch, likely more pelvic girdle pain from pelvis shifting around. 

    Tightening in your stomach is probably Braxton Hicks.
