I am 31 Weeks and experiencing some uncomfortable tightenings every 1/2 hour. I know they could be BH contractions but am feeling heavy in the groin and my back has been aching all day. Also noticed my feet are swolen more than usual. Also baby is still moving around heaps.

drink a few glasses of water. and lay down. this will help. since they are in your back though....GO to the doctor. You may be having more than BH contractions. I thought that was all it was with my first, when I went in and was only 32 weeks...I was already dilated to 2 1/2 cm. just go in to make sure.

Since you are before 35 weeks, you need to watch out for preterm labor, but you don't need to be concerned about it unless you are having more than 5 contractions an hour. It is also pretty normal to have some swelling in your feet. You have probably heard about preeclampsia and how it causes swelling, but there is a lot of other symptoms that go along with that. Call your doctor if you start having headaches, visual disturbances, or epigastric pain. It's always a good idea to give your MD a call if you are concerned about something, that's what they are there for. Good luck! :)

It is probably not preterm labour, but your body is getting ready to have your baby. These contractions are doing something even if it doesn't mean your baby will be born today... every contraction you have now is one less during your delivery :)
When you put your feet up and relax, does the swelling go away? If it does, don't worry. Drink lots of water to help your body detoxify.

Dont be frightened of going to the scientific institution considering the fact which you in no way understand how a approaches your dilated, you will desire to bypass to the scientific institution on the grounds that toddler will nonetheless be considered a premmie till you hit the 38 week mark. You dont prefer to hurry issues via fact the babys lungs would desire to enhance throughly. I went into exertions at 34 weeks and that they stopped my exertions and that i walked around dilated to 3-4 for 4 greater weeks. whilst my toddler grow to be born he nonetheless had worry respiratory even although he grow to be a 38 weeker. They positioned him interior the NICU unit for 6 days previously he have been given to return domicile. tell the wellbeing practitioner which you're feeling tension and permit him learn you, possibly the toddler has moved farther down the birthing canal. solid success to you and your toddler
