Braxton Hicks?

I just had really bad pain, it kinda felt like a side stitch but all over my belly. I thought I was having Braxton hicks before when my stomach would tighten and it was just uncomfy. I don’t know if I should go into the hospital or if it’s just Braxton Hicks and I wasn’t feeling them before. I’ve also been super nauseous and weak today. What would yall do?

That actually sounds like round ligament pain to me. Braxton Hicks really aren't painful, typically speaking.

All that being said, anytime you're questioning things, call your provider! They'll be able to advise you moving forward.

I would definitely leave a message to my OB and see what they say. Trust your instincts, if something feels wrong or off. It's totally okay to go get checked out at labor and delivery. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. My OB sent me to labor and delivery to be on the safe side. It was super quick and easy. Baby was good and happy. They said I could have been a little dehydrated. They said a UTI can cause abnormal cramps. I did not have UTI. They just told me to relax for the rest of the day. Also said if I feel like I'm drinking enough water, then drink even more.
