I am 5 months pregnant with my first child. Yesterday I experienced a sensation, like pain only it didn't feel like I was hurting. It sort of felt like my baby was having a panic attack or something, like it didn't hurt me, it felt weird and "wrong". Very strong feelings that lasted for about 15-45 seconds, then there would be a break, then it would happen again. IT did this about 5 times. My husband tried to tell me it was contractions, but at 5 months? It came in waves. Like, a rush of spasm or something, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the baby was afraid or hurting. What is this pain/sensation?? Can the baby pull on the umbilical cord or anything? To make this feeling? I mean, can he grab on to anything inside the uterus to make me feel like he's trying to fall out, being squeezed, etc?
(I am going to see a doctor on the 27th of July. But I would like answers now, and if this is NOT normal and if it IS serious, then I will go to the ER.)

If it is a tightening feeling it probably is just braxton hicks contractions.I had those constantly from5 months on until my son was born.If it would make you feel better maybe you should see your doctor so you can rest easy about everything.

They are probably Braxton Hicks contractions. You know more about your body and your baby than anyone right now. If it happens again, give your doctor a call.

hopefully it was your baby's first movement---strong too. if it persists, go to ER as you are at a stage in the pregancy that is crucial to the well-being of you and baby.
