I don't exactly remember what they feel like , but I feel like that's what I have all day today, I feel this strange pressure on and off all day and almost feels like mild contractions I used to feel when I was pregnant with my DD 5 years ago, but I can't be sure since it was so long ago. I don't know if it's stretching pain or BH . The only thing is that I think it's too early to start having BH .
I have no bleeding and no AF like cramps, just this pressure that comes and goes. I'm getting a bit worried. I keep thinking I should call the dr but not sure...
I think maybe I;ll wait tonight and see how I feel tomorrow and call then.

Try not to stress. If it would make you feel better, definitely call the doctor. That's what they're there for!!!

if its tightening and pressure its your uterus growing and pushing down on everything around them. BH is very uncommon that early.

yes that's exactly what I felt all day yesterday, so far so good this morning. I was also very tired and had exhausting 2 days yesterday and the day before and didn't get much sleep the night before, so I think that also had something to do with me feeling the way I felt yesterday.

its just your uterus growing at a rapid pace. The exhaustion does fade but for most not until the 2nd trimester. I was going to sleep with DS at like 5pm, no dinner b/c I was so tired. With this my 2nd, I try to go to bed right after DS, about 7:30-8pm.
