what are these pains?

Question

i'm 24 weeks pregnant, i spent most of thurs and most of friday in hospital with pains in my abdomin, back, and across my stomach, and sickness, due to the pain. i had blood and urine tests carried out and seen 2 doctors who concluded there was nothing wrong with me, and my pain could be due to a bug or braxton hicks, so i got allowed home. i was fine all day sat but woke this morning around 6am with the pain again across my tummy and in my back, i got them every 30-40 mins and they would go away after i got up and walked around. This lasted untill about 9am, Im wondering if these could be braxton hicks, or not as they are extremly painful, any experience of braxton hicks would be appreciated? thanks

Answer 1

the sound like braxton hicks contractions!! I feel that you have nothing to worry about really! because the difference between real contractions and braxton hicks contractions is that for the braxton if you move or change positions the pain goes away!and sometimes they could be so painful that you feel they are real contractions I am 40 weeks pregnant I know exactly what your feeling. You just half way through your pregnancy think of it as a healthy sign that your body is taking care of your unborn baby and preparing to help you have this baby. As long as your water hasnt broken or your bleeding i am confident to say that you will be just fine and your baby is going to stay put for weeks to come i hope this helped.
