HELP! Pain in my right hip,...could it be braxon hicks?

[AnitaRFrith]

Tonight when I was cooking I had pain in my right hip.  It got so bad that I had to let my husband finish cooking so I could lay down.  It lasted about 15 mins. but now I feel fine.  Could this be braxton hicks or round ligament pains.  What dose braxton hicks feel like?  Should I call my Ob being that its stopped now?  Elijah has been moving ALLOT today.  More than he ever has.  Thanks an God Bless, Anita

Braxton Hicks for me was like labor pain, but very inconsistent. It started in my lower back. I don't think you have anything to worrry about. Your baby was probably in a weird position or something :) If it's that, next time try drinking a cold beverage and see if the baby will move positions. If you're concerned, talk to your doctor about it. You shouldn't have anything to worry about, though :) Good luck!

no BH feel like your uterus is kind of contracting and becomes very hard they go away right away though...the hip pain could be a sciatic nerve i had it since i was 5 months along very painful and you need to stop what your doing ,it radiated from your hip all the way to your lower extremity..am 37 weeks and still have it at times..try to relax when you have it and you dont need the obgyn ..feel better

Braxton hicks are in your uterus, you feel your uterus tightening it almost goes like a wave from the top to bottom. If you put your hand on your bump you will feel it getting hard. I would say were having round ligament pain.
I don't think a call to your OB is necessary.
