What am I feeling?

So the commute has really been taking a toll on me lately, I feel like a bulldozer ran me over by the time I get into the office and then on the way home I meet DH since he works a couple of blocks from me...Well every day on my way to meet him, I get awful cramps and my stomach tightens, I know it sounds like BH contractions, but do they come on from moving to quickly etc....It's really starting to worry me...they taper off after a few minutes of me sitting down, but its been happening more often...

well, I am obviously not as far along as you-- but, when I am walking-- mainly with DH, because he walks a lot faster than me and when I try to keep up, I tend to get a cramp in my belly. I find that if I slow down, or if I am walking by myself-- I don't get the pain.

He tries to walk slow-- but he's tall... and I don't even realize that I am trying to keep up til I feel the cramp.

Re: What am I feeling?

If you DH is taller than you, he might be walking faster than you. I am usually a fast walker, but I've had to tell DH a couple of times, you're walking too fast. If I find myself walking fast, my stomach will strain.

thats exactly what it is, we're both walking really fast to try to make the trains, I'm a fast walker by nature...I hate walking slow, i feel old

Re: What am I feeling?

I often get what I think are BH when I get up from sitting or when I walk too fast. When I sit down and relax, they go away. I got them last night when I was getting up from the couch and didn't say anything cause I'm used to it by now. FH happened to feel my stomach and said why is it so hard? This morning he felt it and said now it feels normal again. Made me feel like I wasn't crazy, which was nice. :)
