Braxton Hicks???

22w nd 4d pregnant... Ive been having these muscle spasms in my back on the right side that radiates thru my stomach. They r lasting quite awhile on nd off. It gets so bad I cant stand up. Is this braxton hicks? theyre painful nd I didnt think braxton hicks hurt. They never did with my last 3 babies. The thing im worried about is after it finally stops I jus have to lay down cause I feel like crap. Any advice or suggeations.

This has been going on for about 3 days. Progressively gettin worse nd lasting longer. The baby is moving a whole lot today but all her movements r very low. It seems whatever it is gets stronger when I'm more active nd when I lay still it shoots pains thru my stomach nd she starts to move more nd more. I've had 3 children nd never experienced this with any of them. But it always starts in my back.. I tried a warm bath..heating pad..drinking water etc nd nothings helping. I went into to labor at 24 weeks with my last daughter nd they stopped it 11 times. But this was nothing like what I experienced with her..

It could also nerves from the position the baby is lying or normal pregnancy pains and annoyances. I'd talk to your doctor if the pain doesn't clear in a few days.

I personally don't think your having Braxton hicks. Their just like a mild cramp that don't get longer in time and decrease while moving. You might wanna check with your dr. Hopefully your not having back labor bein this early
