I started getting this sinking feeling at 16wks aswell... When i use to rub on it it use to ease up.... Problem braxton hicks and baby rolling are kind of same at this stage... Now when i m 26wks i know when baby is bumping out n when i m getting bh...  i asked my mw according to her baby is very small at this stage n can not butt out so more likely wht u r getting are bh... U can get 4-5 in an hr if u r not fully hydrated... Thy get worst if u need to pee etc... If anything u can feel flutters at this stage as ur uterus is still 2 inch below ur belly button... Take care n best of luck

At 17 weeks i wasnt getting thm 3/4 times a day and coz ur body is streching at this stage thy r more uncomfortable coz u ll feel pain with it as well... Ur uterus is about 4fingers below ur belly button... Dont worry u ll feel baby very soon.. As u r skinny u might be able to feel good flutters near pubic area by 18wks... However stay hydrated n if u r getting cramps after tighteness try changing position.. And empty ur bladder as soon as its full... Dont poke urself as u ll get more pain afterwards... Take cares...

i understand what you mean let me ask you something.. when baby rolls over you feel a bump coming up, it gets hard and tight from one side? sometimes when it happens do you feel breathless etc??

Really at 16 weeks you already having that problem? Eh not tying to be mean or rude. but wow i barely started having that problem im 33 weeks he's been doing it for a while. poking him is what works for me makes him move and get fixed a bit better but other than that i suck it up. i try to stuff under my stomach with pillows and it doesn't hurt as bad but its just going to get worse hun.when my son gets into a little ball I hardly breath or sleep. good luck.
