Hard belly and pressure? UPDATE 12pm!! Updated again...

A few times today my belly gets super hard and I feel pressure down low at the same time. Then it goes away after a minute or two. Could this be contractions? Or is it just Chat Icon getting into a weird position? No pain...


UPDATE 12pm: I just had one WITH some pain (lasted about 30 seconds) and the tightening is such a weird sensation... and i think i had a hot flash! lol Chat Icon I'm at work.... Chat Icon


UPDATED again on page 2...

The exact same thing was happening to me A LOT yesterday. I think they're definitely contractions, but for me, anyway, not the productive kind. Chat Icon

Those are contractions....probably braxton hicks. Your body is getting ready and "practicing" Chat Icon

No pain means Braxton Hicks. But that is good, it means you're getting ready for the real thing!

Re: Hard belly and pressure?

I get the same exact thing, my belly feels like a bowling ball and it is as hard as one when it tightens up, i was thinking they were def. contractions.

Re: Hard belly and pressure? UPDATE 12pm!!!!!!

Those sound like BH Contractions. The last few weeks of PG, BH start to hurt. I got tons of pressure and pain at the end.
When I was in real labor, my stomach got really hard, I felt alot of pressure and pain. The pain is not the bad when you first go into labor. The only difference was I was having these contractions every 10 minutes or so. It took me about and hour to realize I was really in labor.

If you feel like you have to poop, then it could very well be contractions. That is how I felt the evening before I had Abby.

Re: Hard belly and pressure? UPDATE 12pm!!!!!!

I know what you are describing - I have experienced them too... but have been considering that they are BH - not so bad with the pressure - but that is there to a degree too....

Am I wrong to think that I would need to feel the wave of contractions starting in my back too.... or just the super hard belly??

What you described is exactly what happened to me! I had no idea I was in labor or having contractions, I thought it was me eating ice cream!

Good Luck!
