So today I have been feeling a little crampy and baby has been moving so much. (it hurts) I thought that the closer we got "to the end of the road" that the babys movment was to decrease some?

[mamaofonetrying42]

I will be 36 weeks tomorrow too and have been experiencing the same stuff.......it seems like I have lots more braxton hicks and this morning I was trying to clean and when he moved I had to stop for a minute because it hurt!  I go to the doctor tomorrow morning and am anxious to see if there are any changes yet:)  When is your next appt?

[mamaofonetrying42]

Yes. I am. i will be 36weeks this week!

So we went on a walk again last night and I know its prob. normal. but I was feeling so much pressure in lower tummy, Thats a good sign right ;o) hehe

Sounds like a combination of the baby and BH.

I get BH so bad sometimes I have to sit down or hunch over because if I stand upright it HURTS!

And then sometimes I'll get them while I'm laying down, and I'll feel the baby kick n punch at the same time aswell as try to move and that doesn't feel to awesome either. lolol

I couldn't feel Braxton Hicks. So I had to put my hand on my tummy. If the muscles tighten up, it's a contraction. But if you feel rolling and pressure it's just baby moving. You cannot feel baby move when you have a contraction, whether it's a true labor contraction or BH.

I asked my doctor the same thing about the pressure at my last visit and she told me that most of the time its the baby moving and changing positions.. I can always tell because im not so far along so the baby doesnt take up my whole belly yet so usually its just one hard spot of pressure.. compared to my whole stomach forming a hard ball.  BHs get more frequent as you get closer to labor so try counting how many times a day you feel the pressure.  If you feel it more than 4 most likely its the baby because my doctor told me that when you have BH contractions you should usually only feel them about 4 times a day because its just your body "practicing" its not actual contractions and your body knows how often you should have them.. Hope that wasnt confusing..

Thanks, up intill today I have been doing good. Its days like this i wish he would just come now. We have been doing some walking in the evening and wanted to know when I feel pressure in my belly is thats a Bh or just the baby moving?

The cramps may be Braxton Hicks. When you have contractions, your uterus squeezes baby. Your baby's response is to push back and try to stretch. So it may be that he's like, "Hello?! Give me some space!"

Sorry you're not feeling so great!
