last night i woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom as usual but when i got up, my side was cramping really bad. i couldn't even go back to sleep. and then it seemed like it took my baby longer to move than normal. he's usually really active and already kicking me non stop in the mornings but this morning he hasn't moved as much. i'm a a little over 34 weeks pregnant. i was just making sure that pain in my side was something normal. has anyone experienced this or something like this?

yeah i get that all the time. Its from sleeping and the weight of the uterus pulling your tendons and muscles. When you sleep on you side, which is about the only remotely comfortable way to sleep when pregnant, your uterus, the baby, the fluids, all pull out and away from your body. It causes your stomach muscles and the muscles on your uterus to stretch and pull like holy hell.
I also get it when i sleep on my back, or belly... i think it just happens no matter what. But its way worse on my side.
Iam 26 weeks, and i get that all the time. The first few times i couldnt get back to sleep because i was trying to figure out if it was just muscles, or gas, or contractions or what.
lol. oh pregnancy, its such a riot.
Oh also, by 34 weeks your baby is running out of room, so you're going to have days where he just all of a sudden decides not to move hardly at all. And eventually the closer to d-day you get he'll almost stop moving completely.

It is probably just ligaments stretching, but it could also be your liver. If the pain is under your ribs on the right side, you should call your doctor. This could be a sign of preeclampsia or HELLP. Other symptoms are seeing spots, high blood pressure, and headaches. For more info, go to www.preeclampsia.org. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if that's normal I had four children and never had any cramps until I went into labor. I'd consult your physician. I had my 1st son at 35 wks.

Ask your Dr. If it wasn't too intense, you're probably fine. Talk to your Dr. and make sure your baby moves soon, even if it's just squirming and not kicking, it's probably ok...

Monitor his movements. Many doctors say that if you dont feel movements in so many hours to call them. If your baby is normally active you need to call your physican he may be fine then he may be tangled in the cord. Best bet would be call your dr.

it is posiable that he hit a nerve and is very normal i had it happen to me with my 1st baby . but check with your doc to be sure and if he has not moved do you baby kick counts he should kick 10 times a hour , if not defendtly call your doc.

i had braxton hicks with both of mine. if you are unsure go ahead and call the doctor if it would give you some peace of mind.
