Braxton hicks?

[Elljo3]

Last night I was woke up to pains in my right side and back. Its was. Constantly there but then started getting like a concraction feeling, getting tight etc and the top of my bunk was going very hard. I was in tears with the pain. It went in from 1.30 till 5.45 and was regular as well. Today I feel bruised. Are these braxton hicks? I've never experienced these before so I've no idea xx

I’d contact your OB about it- being in tears from pain absolutely warrants quick evaluation. BH can be uncomfortable, but aren’t usually painful. Your stomach gets tight kind of like you’re flexing your abs, except you aren’t- it will feel kind of hard. Changing positions, drinking water, walking, or using the bathroom can usually help BH.

Thank you for your reply. It hasn't happened since so I'm hoping it was a one off thing as getting to see anyone right now is a no go xx

I'm glad it's not happened since
