Pain 34 weeks

Lately I've been having tightness and painful feeling around my tummy only when I'm asleep.  When I try to get up to pee - it was so uncomfortable and impossible to get up.  I had to rub it and give it time for it to go away before I can even move.  I also been getting pain in my fingers and toes - its like around the knuckles.  

Is this contractions or BH? I"m 34 weeks.

Do you sleep on one specific side if your body? I know when I'm asleep and I have been sleeping for a while on one side of my body and i try to move or get up it kinda hurts or feels tight, just an uncomfortable feeling. Try sleeping with lots of pillows, I sleep with four, and i have a big body pillow next to me and i use my husband as a pillow too lol. Try different sleeping positions or change positions frequently at night.

Thank you ladies for the responses.  I only have this tightness pain in my tummy during my sleep.  When I'm not in bed - I don't get this weird uncomfortable feeling.  

My dr. said not to take hot bath - it's dangerous.

Same here. Second baby. I'm not a big girl but my baby is just that .. all baby ! That ligament pain ***** & makes it hard to move. Lower abdomen pain hangs with that territory too. Cramps. Tight. Uncomfortable. Take a hot shower. As hot as you can stand on your back & it sounds ***** but stretching while your in there can help. Have someone come with if you're afraid of losing balance. Lay on your side with a good comfy body pillow & drink water. This is all advice from my elders & sister who just had her fifth .. when in doubt certainly call the hospital & talk to an ob nurse. It can never hurt to talk to someone who does it every day .. good luck !

Doesn't really sound like any kind of contraction. It's probably pressure from baby on your pelvic area.. I've had that same pain for weeks now, I'm 35 + 1 weeks but also with twins. Could also be a ligament pain... Your uterus is working super hard right now holding that baby. But any concerns that you have discuss with your doctor. It's better to be safe then sorry!
