Hello ladies. Throughout my pregnancy I've experienced braxton hicks. Sometimes painful, but nothing too bad. Sort of like dull period cramps. Well last night i woke up in really bad pain and nothing was helping. My stomach balled up really tight and hurt so bad. My back began to hurt really bad too. Walking made it worse and i tried to lay down on my left side and nothing helped. Finally t went away. But when i woke up this morning, it came back again. What is it? It hurts ridiculously bad.
