Here's a Really Dumb Question About Contractions
I've been having stomach pains the last two days, they're not regular or consistent or anything, but I can't figure out if they're BH or if they're just my stomach hurting cause I'm constipated (TMI, sorry). I still feel LO (little one) kick and roll during the pain and I didn't know if babies can still move like that during contractions?
Is your whole belly tight?
A good portion of it is, the very upper part is still soft and squishy.
My best guess is gas. My BH contractions tighten my whole bump. Try heating a pillow for a few minutes with a heating pad and then applying the pillow to the small of your back. For me heat is great at alleviating gas discomfort.

Try doing some cat cow yoga stretches to get the pressure off your bowels. BH and gas can feel like early labor
OP. How are you feeling?
Girl this board is full of questions dumber than yours!
I had exactly what you're describing few days ago. It was just a terribly painful poop. Even though I've been taking a nightly stool softener for weeks, things still get backed up I guess.
A BH will tighten the entire belly and can sometimes take your breath away. But those waves of pain are similar to labor yes.
Better, thank you for checking in! I sat in some warm water for about 15 minutes, drank a bunch of water with some miralax in it and took a nap. I haven't had any stomach pains since I woke, now LO (little one) is just rubbing against my cervix and giving me lightening crotch. 😂
I'm hoping the miralax will help get things moving in the next couple days cause im really desperate to go to the bathroom!

I was taking colace regularly between like 20 and 32 weeks and I don't know if I just wasn't taking enough of it or I wasn't drinking enough water (I drink about a gallon a day so I really hope this wasn't it cause I'm not sure I could drink anymore!) but it stopped working and would give me worse stomach pains than what I was experiencing earlier. It would take days to go to the bathroom and I would be so gassy in between. I finally gave up and switched to eating prunes daily... which did the job with zero pains until the other day 😂
