Contractions or BH?!?!?
I'm 35 weeks today and i keep getting these sharp pains across my lower stomach and kinda in my hips. I've had about 4 in the past 20 to 30 minutes. I've had it before but it was due to being constipated (sorry tmi) and the pain only came once. This time it'll come then go away and then come again and be worse. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so was it contractions or just BH?
Yeah my BH hurt. I figure it's just the way it goes since I didn't get any of the other symptoms like mornjng sickness or swelling of my hands and feet.II've had some back pain but didn't get it till around 30 weeks. I've just been tired and emotional. The doctors just tell me that if the pains keep happening and don't stop after 30 to 45 minutes to go to the birthing center or come to there office if it's during the day when there still open. Haven't had to yet but I'm getting close to when she's gonna be here.
My BHCs aren't painful, but I've heard they can be... I'm in the same boat as you ladies - just got home from an NST and the whole time I was there I had maybe 3 contractions, while all day before I went to the hospital and once I got home I started having them regularly again.
I think with the pain you're experiencing, it could be either. Your best bet is probably to call your doctor or l&d and find out what they want you to do.

Yea I feel them when I'm at home but when I was hooked up to the monitor I wasn't feeling anything. The doctors were like "you're still contracting, don't you feel it" I was like no lol & they said it was happening every 5-10mins. Idk how to time it though. All I know is they feel strong & this pain is excruciating
Yeah mines just in my lower stomach and there gone now and when i went to my dr appointment this morning i had a contraction when i laid back for the Dr to listen to her heartbeat. Except she had to tell me i was having one cuz i had no clue till after she told me that my muscles where relaxing again cuz that's when it started to hurt like really light period cramps.
This is happening to me but in my stomach & back, turned out to be actual contractions
