Thanks for all your advise.... I've been having Braxton hicks all week but very light ones and they don't last more then a couple seconds. .. this is more like a constant pain.... exactly like menstrual cramps

Go to the hospital! I did that at 25 weeks and I was going into preterm labor. Lucky they were able to stop it but I've had to be on bed rest and I've gone to the hospital 4 times already to stop my contractions. I'm now 30 weeks. Good luck!

That's what I'm doing lying down ... my doctors unfortunately closed on Saturdays. ... thinking about heading to the hospital if it doesn't ease up soon....

You are at a stage where this could be a sign of preterm labor. Call your doctor or nurse line and tell them. If not go to the hospital and they will check you and give you medicine to stop labor if needed. In the meantime stay on bedrest just in case
