BH?

Okay,
So every night I can't sleep because the baby rolls and I feel so much pressure on my sides from the baby. All day long I have pressure and my stomach is hard. Today, I've had a lot of gas, my stomach is hard, and the pressure is still there. My back is hurting too... I'll be 36 weeks on Monday. Is this BH that I feel ALL DAY LONG? Or is it just the baby is so heavy because I'm so petite? I had preterm contractions at 31 weeks, but I didn't even know I was having contractions.

Re: BH?

yes - I've been having them ALL DAY LONG. OB told me to drink more...but I drink a gallon of liquid a day.

As for the back pain - if it's bad pain - it might be real labor, but if it's an ache - that can be from the BH. I get a really achy lower back when BH comes, since it sticks my stomach out - I think it's more strain on my back to hold it up.

OMG! I just had this today and it scared the you know what out of me. I called my doctor and was told it might be gas. I actually had a bowel movement (sorry TMI) right after I got off the phone with the doctor and feel 100% better...YAY! He gave me an hour to feel better or if not to go to L&D for monitoring. Thank God I don't have to go. I will be 28 weeks on Sunday.

Re: BH?

I drink water all day long too! No problems going to the bathroom. The baby has been moving around from one side to the other and I still have the pressure. It's on and off, but I'm going to monitor it tonight. If it doesn't stop I'm going to call the doctor.

Thanks!
