belly pain/pressure

[sb530]

I'm 36 weeks, starting last night the top of my stomach gets pretty painfull, my whole stomach gets very hard and lasts 5-10 minutes.  I thought i ate too much at dinner, chinesse buffet.  It stopped last night after I took a shower/rested and drank water. It started again this morning.  I'm trying to drink water, take breaks often (attempting to clean and organize). I was wonder if it was bh, but thought bh only lasted 20-30 seconds? Baby seems lower to me this week than she fid last week.  So, I dunno.

I have been having the same thing. Mainly tightening at top of belly. Definitely braxton hicks... They seem to be getting stronger now that August has come around.  I just plomp myself on the couch with a glass of water and rest. Some days it eases, but others, it just keeps going the whole day.

With my first on it started a week before my due date.... wondering if this one will be making an early arrival.  Once the pain/pressure goes away the baby is VERY active,  almost angry in her movenents. Crazy thing is I really need this one to be late. About 4 days. Otherwise I don't get my maternity leave. But I know babies come when THEY want. Lol. God will provide.

Sounds like braxton hicks
