20 weeks, are the contractions?????

Well on Thursday I did a prenatal yoga, which I hadnt done before. I also started unpaking from the move into our new house last Friday. Well..... last night I went to go lay down and I had this really bad pain in my uteruas(?). It was hard but it wasnt hard all over. You could see it ball up only on the one side that was hurting like crazy. I called the midwife and she told me if it continued to come in. The pain kept comming and balling up only one that one side. I couldn't sit up because my lady part even hurt. There was no pressure just pain. It's wasnt hard all over like I remember contractions being with my 1st. All I know is I had to breath thru the pain. Well I took some tylenol and went to bed. Thank goodness I havn't felt the pain since last night. What do you think that was?

Sounds like braxton hicks contractions which are perfectly normal.

My BH was only on one side most of the time. My OB said the baby was pushing against that side causing the uterus to contract there.

Ok so what am I supposed to do when this happens?

Normally BH doesn't hurt and you can go about your day. But sometimes they do get intense. My Ob said to rest when that starts and drink lots of water as dehydration can cause it as well.

Ok, thanks sooooo much. How far along are you?

I just had my baby boy a month ago. I can't believe it has been a month!!!

If it continues go see your doctor.I went in on a Thursday with same issues OB said it was just my uterus stretching and that Sunday Easter I went into full labor.I felt like I was just having like period cramps and wouldn't go away.If you are worried or scared best thing to do is go have them check and make sure its not if it comes back.

Hugs and prayers to you!

Thanks. If it continues I will go to the ER asap. I havn't had any today. Thank good ness
