Braxton Hicks?

Question

I'm At least 3 months pregnant recently though, My belly got really tight, it feels really hard like I have a huge ball starting under my Boobs and it seems to be growing from that point,
Its also very hard to breath all the time no matter the position im sitting or laying,
I looked this up and it was saying something about "Braxton Hicks" Im not sure what that means, And what are signs of Twins?? (google Seems to think thats why my belly Hurts and its so hard)

Answer 1

At three months the baby is tiny tiny tiny! And your uterus is nowhere near your boobs. You might need to go in if this doesn't stop. I started getting Brax H around 5 months with my first son and my Doc said that was early . I think that you should try to see a Doc asap. Also go to americanbaby.com- there you can see pictures of the baby in the 9mon cycle to better explain what I mean.


You could also have really bad heartburn, try some tums.

Answer 2

I agree with the others that you see a doctor now. It is too early for Braxton Hicks. I had contractions in my 2nd month and 5th month and both times had a bladder infection. (with no other symptoms than the contraction) Bladder infections were treated and I was told to rest for a few days and everything was fine. I am holding my perfectly healthy baby in my arm who btw came late and only after me being induced.....But go see your doctor contracions this early aren't good. Your Dr will also be able to tell if you are carrying twins.

Answer 3

Braxton Hicks contractions don't begin until you are in about your seventh month of pregnancy or later.

Signs of twins these days are: two heartbeats heard on the fetoscope. Two babies seen on the sonogram.

You should talk to your doctor about your belly tightening and hardening and your breathing difficulties.

Answer 4

you are either having more than one baby or you are further along than you thought. Its not completely impossible to have these feelings this early but it is a little strange.

Braxton hicks are 'practice contractions' that feel like tightenings around your abdomen and sometimes lower back. They are usually painless but in late pregnancy can become like period cramps.

Schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible to check and see if they missed something or if you can get an ultrasound to double check gestation and possibility of 2 babies!

best of luck
