I'm 24+5 and I get the exact same my midwife said its just from things moving and stretching... I had it bad today to the point I thought I was in labour ( 4th child ) turns out my bowels opened like a volcano 🤣

ahh I wasn't sure if it was baby turning or Braxton hicks. This is my first baby so all new, I'm used to other pains in my lower belly just not at the top

Braxton hicks are more of a period cramping pain with tightening. They say they’re supposed to be uncomfortable not painful but I’ve had them with my first and this pregnancy and I’d say they’re painful at times. Likely to be something like that or just stretching etc x

I did think Braxton hicks, it was like a cramp but at the top, it took me by surprise, everything I've googled doesn't explain about top of stomach really x

when I’ve experienced it, it’s always been crampy at the bottom and tightenings at the top. I think everyone’s so different and it’s so hard to tell isn’t it x

it really is, if I keep getting it I'll speak to my midwife x

I had this and then diarrhoea followed 😠but it did feel better after
