Should I be worried?

Hi, I'm nearly 25 weeks along with my 3rd Bub and having bad pains and tightening in the lower part of my belly not sure if it Brixton hicks or just growing pain. Any ideas.

It might be braxton hicks lay on ur left side. If it continues go to l&d to make sure all is ok with your little one. Sometimes  it just may b stress or your doing to much for your  body. Rest

Yeah if I sit down it sometimes seems to ease it.
Sometimes it can last ages and feels like cramping. Or I've been punch in the guts.

When I get Braxton hicks my belly gets very tight and uncomfortable. If it goes away when you  Move around, change positions, or sit down.. I'd say Braxton hicks.  Drink water bc dehydration can trigger them. & if it happens more than 4 times in 1 hr def call your ob. Is the pain constant?  And what does it feel like
