Ouch

I posted last night that I thought I was having Braxton hicks but I woke up and I'm still cramping.. My stomach is tightening and it's slightly paunful/uncomfortable. I don't know that it is

I would also say that my stomach area isn't any harder than it usually is

I wouldn't say they're painful just uncomfortable. They went away now though so hopefully they don't come back. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow they aren't open on Sundays but thanks for all your input

If your having more then 4 in an hour u should go.get checked out. Bh can eadily turn into real.contractions if they get to consistent. Ive had them alot during my pregnnacy since about 20 weeks and had to get out on bedrest cuz they wouldnt stop. Whenever ur worried just call ur doc no concern is stupid when it comes to pregnancy!

I have BH that are painful. I've been to the ER a lot of times Lol but I would go get checked or at least call your doctor and let them know! Mine weren't painful til I hit 30 weeks and there not super painful.

If the top of your uterus is getting hard as well you need to go in and get checked. My sister has that at 25 weeks and had to be admitted to hospital to stop labor, then same thing happened again at 37 weeks so they let her have her little girl, but she had no pain with them.

Could be contractions. Braxton hicks shouldn't hurt. I would call your Dr. Because you shouldn't be having painful contractions at all this early!
