Hi ladies, This morning at around 7:45am i woke up to some massive pain all over my belly. mostly on the lower sides. My belly was really tight and i could barely breath. It lasted for about a minute. Boy was i glad when that was over. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, any comments will really let me know what that was.

rvblessed - 118 days ago Hii everyone, thanks so much for your comments, saw the doc today and she said it was round ligament pains

moms the word - 118 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think most pregnant women have similar pains during pregnancy. It could be round ligament pain, Braxton Hicks contractions, or even gas pain. If the pain is accompanied by any of the following, see your doctor: painful urination (could be bladder infection or UTI), bleeding (which is never good during a pregnancy) or fever (which could signal infection). If they get too regular or last for extended periods of time, it could be from dehydration. With the heat right now, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. Your uterus is a giant muscle and needs lots and lots of water. Good luck and never be afraid to sound silly and call your doctor if you have a genuine concern. It isn't being paranoid, it's being a good mom to make sure your baby is safe. Take care of yourself.

I got them (and still do) in the morning mostly when I really had to pee! I can tell you when I didn't know what it was I worried, but now I just try to relax and go pee!:} It might also happen when you haven't drank enough water. the pain part shouldn't be part of a BH though discomfort yes but pain could be a ligament stretch. My friend get those every morning since she was 16 weeks or so and she is now34wks. Good luck and if things get worse or change to concern you, call your doc!

Tonya- - 119 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i had something like this when i was 18 weeks i was scared so i went to the doctor i had a bad bladder infection it was bad enough that it was making my bladder contract but i was hurting on my sides down below around 3 to 4 inches below my belly button and 2 to 3 inches in from the sides im not saying this is what is going on with you but they say bladder infections are pretty common with pregnant people and i didnt even feel sick just pains but best of luck

Debra - 119 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) all of the answers below are plausible. If you have pain like that, drink some water. Often you will get braxton hicks contractions because you are dehydrated. They occur b/c the uterus is always thirsty and when its dehydrated it becomes irritated and contracts in response. My contractions were often painful, but not usually until after 30 weeks. Before that, i had lots of stretching discomfort.

azmommytobe - 119 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Honey I had them through out my entire pregnancy. Mostly, they were when I was sleeping. It felt like a someone had scissors in there and was cutting everything. Out of breath, etc. Mine were "round ligament pains". Our ligaments stretch and that is what mine were. Go to the forums here or on yahoo and look it up. I bet that is what you have. Let me know if it is.

nich-vegas-mommy2be - 119 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It could be a Braxton Hicks contraction, though most people don't experience pain with BH. But it really could have been gas! I had a gas bubble under my ribs one night and I seriously thought I was going to pass out it hurt so bad.
