29 weeks pregnant...... Monday, i experienced a horrible pain in lower belly to my upper thigh that brought me to tears.... i kept having bad lower stomache pains since then and side pains. Now wednesday night around 7 i was experience even worse pains that made me really cranky, in a lot of pain that i had to hold my belly and try all my breathing techniques. I am still having these pains usually every 20 minutes. My stomache has been hard as a rock, even when i lay down since yesterday but worse today. I have had braxton hicks when iwas just 22 weeks but these are worse than ive had b4. Any give me information or anything cause im in the process of changing my doctors cause i was having problems with my old one..

Well Braxton Hicks can be painful, contrary to popular belief, I know I have been there. It could also be the baby is just on a nerve. I would try to lay down on my side and see if that helps, if not, try the other side. If you are worried too much about it, just go to the ER. Even though you are in the process of changing doctors, they will still see you. They can put you on the monitor and check you. It will ease your mind if nothing else.

You really need a doctor's advice for this or go to the emergency room. Braxton-Hicks contractions are sporadic and dissipate after a little while, especially if you lay down. You could be having problems that need to be investigated by a medical expert.

You may be in the process of changing doctors, but this would be the time when you call your doctor to find out if you should go to the hospital. Make a decision which one to call, and make that call NOW. Or you could always just go to the hospital and hope it wasn't a waste of time...

That doesn't sound good, hon. I hope you're able to get things sorted out with your doctor situation very soon because it sounds like your body is getting ready for labor VERY soon. Those don't sound like Braxton-Hicks. I've had a lot of Braxton-Hicks with both of my pregnancies, some of them quite intense, but what you're describing sounds like early labor.

Find another doctor right away - or go to the hospital emergency room if you have to without a specific doctor. You don't want to take a chance!! Not sure whether they are contractions or what, but you really should be looked at!
Good luck!

Sounds like you should just go to the hospital. If it is labor then they need to stop it and give you some meds for it. I was having preterm labor at 25 weeks and now Im taking somehting called Brethine for it, and the contractions have stopped, and they gave me shot to develop the babys lung , and Im on bedrest. Just go and get checked.

Go to the emergency room. When you get there, they will automatically take you to labor and delivery immediately. (Don't worry, you don't have to be in actual labor- it's protocol). When you get there they will hook you up to a machine and make sure everything is okay with your baby and that neither of you are in distress. If eveything is fine, at least you can relax. You know?
I had to go through all of that because I sprained my ankle...

Are you in labor? Every 20 minutes? Get to ER. Don't drive yourself. Call ambulance if you have to.

if you do not like him why does it subject if he is ignoring you or no longer? He's no longer seeking to make you whatever. You mentioned you did not like him so he subsidized off. He gave you all his concentration that you simply didn't wish. And now the he stopped supplying you with concentration and now you wish it? Make up your brain.
