Round ligament pain or Braxton Hicks?

[21yrsurvivor]

I'm not very good at describing things and how long they last or have lasted, so bare with me.

I'm 20 weeks along now, the the past 2-3 days I have been having some pain, it's not harsh bring you to tears pain but it is definitely uncomfortable. Last night I had it on my right side and today it's on my left side. The pain feels like a knot, especially when I stand. When I'm walking around if feels like a knot on the inside to the left. It seems to just want to stick to one side. The past few days I have felt tightening throughout my pelvis off and on, but the past 2 days it's just been on one side or the other. The pain doesn't really go away, it will lessen a bit but it will only get to a certain point of discomfort and stay there for a while then it will subside for a little bit.

I'm also wondering if it's me not getting enough water. I have a terrible time drinking water or liquid for that matter is mass amounts. I've been told to have 10-12 glasses a day and I can't even reach 8. My water consumption has gotten better then it was but I get severely sick if I drink too much.

Any input/advice is greatly appreciated.

Hmm, it's difficult to say, so speak to your midwife if possible.

The tightening sounds like BH. I was going to say that the side pain could be round ligament pain, however I have experienced that as a much sharper pain, personally. That doesn't mean that I know what your pain is though.
