BTDT Moms Please Help (Sorry So Long)

I am 32 weeks 2 days and last night I had these really bad cramping pains in my lower back and this huge burst of energy which I ended up cleaning our apt. This is my 1st pregnancy and I dont know what Braxton Hicks really is no matter how much I read about it. Any idea what this is, its starting again now but its not bad as long as I'm sitting at my desk. This afternoon the the pains came back to my lower back sometimes to the point that I had to stop what I was doing. It comes and goes in intervals. And now all of a sudden my feet seemed have almost double in size.

Please help. I need to know what I can do, I'm trying to stay at work as long as possible. When I get home from work at night DH puts me on bed rest. We commute back and forth to work together so thank god I dont have to drive.

have you spoken to your doctor about this?

Well, you seem to be nearing the end of your pregnancy, that's for sure!



The burst of energy is probably nesting. we all get that. It's your body preparing.

As for BH, it's a tightness, like a cramp in your belly.

if it radiates from the back to the front, it's a contraction... a contraction for me was more of an ache and dull pain..

a BH was more of a tightening and then it'd go away. Sometimes they do knock the air out of you for a second too.

Hang in there and try and take it easy. If it starts coming in intervals, i'd def mention it to your doctor!

Anytime I mention it to my DR he tells me to drink a lot of water.
