Bump now the pains in my lower tummy :/

[kiccolini]

Yeah they keep moving from side to side on my tummy then by my belly button then goes up my side n sometimes my back

Yes it is. They sound like braxton hicks for sure.

So is it normal to have pain in my stomach moving all over ?

With my braxton Hicks my stomach gets really hard and tight and then releases about 20-30 seconds later. I tend to have a lot of them when I'm at work standing. My Dr said its OK to take tylenol for them if there uncomfortable

I'm 29+3 and I've been getting braxtom Hicks since I was about 20 weeks. I believe the difference is they should not be painful and they will be irregular. And will stop if you drink a lot of water and relax. Real contractions will start to be painful and keep going relaxing or not. I'm a stm. Hope this helped
