Braxton Hicks?

So I think I’ve been having Braxton hicks but I honestly don’t have any clue lol. The past two days I noticed in the mornings when I walk my dog, I have tightness in my belly and have to walk slow. Then during the day if I’ve been doing too much, there’s also tightness, uncomfortable to walk. Baby moves throughout all of it. He actually moves all day long and kicks are getting stronger. His strongest kicks are in the middle of the middle like 5 &6am. This am he gave me a very strange move, very interested and what he was doing in there. Probably flipping, not sure but felt weird lol. 8w until due date but 6/7w left due to induction. I also notice the tightness comes on if I’m stressing or overwhelmed. Btw this picture is featuring Momcozys undies. I believe it’s these ones, I have two different pairs. momcozyteamparents mycozypick

Love the underwear definitely going to have to get those next time around,

But I also wanted to stop by and say when I was around where you were at in my own pregnancy I had the same thing tightness and a pulling , especially when I walked it freaked me out so much. I would talk to your OBGYN just to double check but for me it was totally normal. As you get bigger the space for everything in you get smaller so things move and shift and so does baby as well as you ligaments and muscles they stretch and pull and hip widen. Again I’m not a doctor just speaking from my own experience:)

A yoga ball would have been great when I was pregnant honestly

Yes so comfy, I love them. And omg I had that round ligament pain pretty early on, it was no joke. Now it’s just the tightness. I’m definitely going to ask at my next appointment on Tuesday. Well they will be monitoring me too, so I’m sure they’ll let me know.

I’m glad you mentioned the yoga ball, I’ve decided I want to use my cozy coins to go ahead and get it. Sometime this week so I can have it for the rest of my pregnancy and beyond.

That underwear looks so comfy.

It sounds like it could just be baby growing and pushing on things. Mine loved to hit my ligaments on the sides. If you are ever worried reach out to your doctor and they can tell you to come in to get checked or put your mind at ease. With my first, he dropped down around that time and my waddle got worse. It was also uncomfortable too.

That’s exactly how I got my ball too! The coins came in clutch!! I’m trying to redeem mine as well so if they restock the gift cards I’ll give you a heads up!!!

That tightness really freaked me out though I remember you like unlocked that memory for me hahaha!!! I hope you get some ease soon!!

I truly think the ball will help!

Also good to know that underwear is comfy what I would have done for some good underwear when I was pregnant hahaha

Very comfy. And yes last week they said he is 4lbs 4ounces. Everyone say I’m so small but I feel very big lol. I will definitely be getting more info when I go Tuesday just to double check. It’s not pain just uncomfortable sometimes.

Wait the gift cards are not in stock? I’m over here waiting when I need to just go ahead and get it. I’m able to get up to 3 $20 right now. Dang now I need to go check. And yes I will say though it’s not pain it’s just uncomfortable. Do the ball come with instructions on different positions to do with it?

They restock a few times a months like three times I feel and you can only do one redeem a day! I have gotten pretty good at checking though so I’ll let you know if I catch them and you gotta be fast okay!! Hahaha

Yes they come with mini classes it’s awesome

Ok because I can see them on my end, it just says redeem, I haven’t clicked redeem yet. Idk if it will say not available. This will be my first time ever redeeming my coins.

I wanted to make sure the ball is on the site before I redeem. And omg I don’t even see it on the site anymore. :woman_facepalming:t5:

Could be! I never got Braxton hicks, but contractions have a really tight pulling across your pelvic area. Contractions are accompanied by pain though, and I don’t think Braxton hicks has pain. I could be wrong. Nice panties! Maternity panties are the best! I still wear mine. They’re the below the belly ones, and they are so comfortable!

That sounds like Braxton hicks but double check with you OB. I had them like that when I wasn’t drinking enough water and when I was overdoing it so try to rest and make sure you are drinking plenty of water and hopefully it will help some

What an exciting period you’re getting so close. I would definitely check in with your doctor just to be safe but for me that tightness was just because of running out of space Braxton Hicks felt more like period cramps or pooping cramps.

Yes exactly.

Ok I will also look out for those period and pooping cramps, that’s a good explanation. So I won’t be caught by surprise. Thank you.
