they may be Braxton hicks, but of I were you I'd call l and d and explain your pain just to make sure they think it sounds normal. that sounds a tad bit extreme for 25 weeks.
no need to go to the hospital, just give them a call and they'll tell you what you need to know

Braxton hicks are cramps in your Stomach they can be very painful or feel just like Period pain, they will come and go and can give u back pain and no belly pain or just a tightening pulling feeling in your stomach.


Contractions of labour - they are Very tense cramps pains in your stomach that come and go often and makes a tightening feeling in your stomach and back and contractions will come very Close together.

I'm 25 weeks and it's been on and off tightening in my stomach. My baby boy will move then when the tightening and pain comes he stops. It's not severe pain but it still hurts enough to make me stop and take deep breaths. I haven't had one for about 45min and they lasted about 1 minute

I'm not to sure they say people get confused between Braxton hicks and contractions so I'm Guessing so but don't take me word on that. Do contractions start of bad or do they start mild and progress to be very painful
