Should I?

Ok I know I just posted the question on the Braxton Hicks and if it's normal for the baby to be in position at 30wks, but just now all of a sudden my stomach started getting rock hard and it really hurts. Do you think it is just false labor or should I call the doc? They are bad enough I feel like I could throw up

Braxton Hicks contractions can hurt just as much or more than regular contractions.  Drink some cold water and lay on your left side to see if the contractions slow down.  Also, time them and if they are consistently 5-8 minutes apart and last for at least a 60 seconds, then I would definitely get checked out.

I went into natural labor with my first and didn't show up at the hospital until I was 5 cm, but when my second came along, I was in the doctor's office complaining of the horrible pain and they were actually just BH.  I couldn't believe it......

My daughter is also expecting her second right now and she is 29 weeks and experiencing lots of new pains, so I understand.  I hope you feel better soon, but try that little trick above and see if it helps.
