?????IMPORTANT??????

For the past 25 minutes I have been having a tightness across the lower part of my tummy. It doesn't hurt it just feels tight. It is happening every 5 minutes. I can still feel the baby kick and it is not the least bit painful, and as I said it is only in the lower part of my belly, not the entire belly. My DH is nervous but I think maybe I need to drink more water and they are Braxton Hicks. Please tell me is this normal and OK? I'm 31 weeks. I don't want to call my Dr. like a lunatic for nothing!

Re: ?????IMPORTANT??????

I would call anyway. It may be nothing, but at 31 weeks, I would call. Good luck!

Thanks, I just drank a lot of water and I haven't felt it for 10 minutes now I know people at my job who this happened too and they went to the hospital and they were told they were dehydrated.

That sounds like BH. When I had them, that's exactly what I felt.

I had the same problem last week, but I'm not as far along as you! My dr told me that if they come more than 6 times in an hour, that I should be seen. Hope you're feeling better!

How are you feeling now Stacey? I think I started getting BH last night -- it certainly made me stop dead in my tracks, I tell ya!

Keep drinking that water, I know when my friend was pg (with her 10 1/2 pound baby boy!) she thought she was drinking a lot and the dr told her she was dehydrated, so keep on drinking!!!
