Hey! I had this plus a lot of lower back pain last night. 34 weeks with twins, I had it a few weeks ago and my doctor told me to let them know when it happens so last night I called and they had me go in to check. After 4 hours or so, some monitoring, they sent me home and said it’s probably just practice contractions and not active labor

Does it feel like some tightening in your muscles too? Could be Braxton Hicks contraction. My OB told me not to worry unless they are regular, like a certain amount of time long every few minutes or every half hour or hour. Or if it’s accompanied by bleeding.

no tightening

I feel like its constipation pain and still very scared

you might want to co tact your OB or the delivery hospital and ask them

Your intestines are smashed right now because of the baby, so it could very well be your body just trying to digest food. But def contact your OB if your concerned!

I had this happen this past weekend. It would last for seconds then go away. I called my ob and had a nurse go over my symptoms. She said it could be constipation? I upped my water intake this week and started walking more. Haven’t felt them since but to give them a call back if it continues and/or if I notice any else different.

My nurse said the same ,its constipation
