Tightness in stomach....UPDATE
I have been getting this tightness in my stomach, mostly on the top of my stomach (under my ribs going down) and its painful, I can't even stand for long. What can that be?? Not sure if I should call my Dr....
Well I called my Dr and he told me to come in, he said it was just Braxton Hicks contractions and not to worry, everything else looked fine! I feel so much better now.

Melissa I am having the same issue and it hurts and it doesn't stop but mine I think is caused because this little bugger is a franks breech on an angle and I have the head and the feet up by my ribs.

Re: Tightness in stomach....
Sounds like the contractions I had 2 weeks ago. I felt the same thing and called my midwife, who told me to go to L&D right away. When I got hooked up to the monitor I was having contractions 3-4 mins apart! Call your dr!

Well my baby was breech, but I had my sono yesterday and now the baby is head down, so the butt and feet are by my ribs, I'm trying to drink a lot, but I'm worried cause the sono tech said my fluid was low.....

Re: Tightness in stomach....UPDATE
Funny - I started getting this feeling too... but it doesn't "hurt", it's just tightening. I thought it was the baby trying to get comfortable, but maybe it's braxton hicks? I was getting some serious pressure "down there" today too... but that may have just been a need for a BM

Re: Tightness in stomach....UPDATE
This is the feeling I have been getting for the last 2 weeks.
It is pretty intense and is in my upper belly / rib area too.

It stinks! And I am only 24 weeks. I see the doc on Friday so I will definitely tell her about it. I am glad you are okay and glad that it's nothing to be worried about!

Thanks! I still have it now, this is the longest I have felt this pressure...
ETA: I hope everything is good for you at your DR visit!

Re: Tightness in stomach....UPDATE
As soon as I read your title Melissa, I thought...it has to be Braxton Hicks!!
I hope you're feeling better!!

Re: Tightness in stomach....UPDATE
I've been getting that too for the last week or so (I'm almost 30 weeks). I just went to the doctor yesterday, and he said as long as it doesn't hurt, it's Braxton Hicks.

I noticed that my BH were much stronger the second time around.
(maybe because the first time around I was just so clueless about what it what? lol)
