Contraction or pulled muscle? 😂

Please help we’re losing our minds… I was just sat on the sofa with my husband and we were laughing and I mean belly laughing and all of a sudden I got a pain through my lower back on my left side. It wasn’t unbearable and I could breathe through it but it lasted a few mins. It felt like it peaked and then eased off slowly. Initially I thought I pulled a muscle in my back from laughing but it wouldn’t have eased like it did? Is it possible I’ve just had a contraction?

It could be round ligament pain I've had it where I've pulled it and it's hurt my lower back or could absolutely be a strained rather than pulled muscle. Keep an eye on it and see if it happens again xx

Contractions are regular hun not one off

@Samantha contractions don’t have to be regular at all, they’re only regular in active labour.

@YazmynJade I’m still not sure what it was but it was painful! I’ve since found out I’m more likely to get back labor because I’m short with a heavier baby so that’s fun! 😂

It’s very easy to pull a muscle at this stage, so it could still just be that if nothing more has happened since 😊

@Freya yes, I think it probably was as it seems to have been a one off ☺️
