pain!! Brackston Hicks or what help!
This week has been very trying and I don't know if all thats happened has made my body go out of wack or what. Tuesday we buried my aunt and today I rehomed my dog Rudee because he's not a children fan. Both events have been hard but I think I've kept it together fairly well, been keeping myself buisy. Anyways around 5 pm today I sat down to dinner took 0ne bite and wham the pain hit me so hard I started screaming. It started in my breast area radiated in my back and settlted in my stomach and sides, the most intense cramping I've ever had. Needless to say I didn't eat I tried every position to get comfortable, from sitting up, walking, lying on my side. Nothing worked. when I would lay on my left side it would ease for a moment then hit me a few minutes later full force. This lasted 3 hours until I somehow managed to fall asleep. When I woke up it feels like I've been run over by a truck I'm sore all over and still have some moderate cramping on my left side. Should I be concerned I go see me obgyn Monday for another sonogram or should I go sooner. I'm 30 weeks today.
Thanxs for responding definately not a gallbladder attack, haven't had a gallbladder since 2002 lol. I'm still cramping today but not too bad they're manageable. Real sore though from last nights episode. Thought they may be stretching pains which I've had every 3 weeks since my 19th week but these were much more intense and haven't completely subsided. Thanxs for responding though.

I know you're probably holding off for Monday, but to me the pain sounds pretty intense, especially as it was around your back too.If anything like that happens over the weekend, you should really phone your OB team (in my humble opinion).
My first baby (6yrs ago) - I was waiting to be induced, got there the Mon am, hooked up to the monitor and was told that I was already in labor.......I just thought the pain was BH or "pregnancy". Luckily, all was well.

That does NOT sound like Braxton Hicks. I think you should call your doctor ASAP and get checked out. I've been pregnant 6 times (3 full term deliveries, 2 Angels in Heaven and on Bun in the Oven 11 weeks), and never felt anything like you described (except when I had my gallbladder attack years ago, but you already smartly ruled that out - good suggestion, though). But that's just my experience. Good luck, Honey!
