Braxton Hicks
Braxton Hicks… I’ve been having tightenings all day long, not painful ones by any means but they have been on and off. My stomach goes rock hard, and then releases after between 30 seconds to two minutes. Baby has been moving inbetween them, but seems to have gone a little quiet. I’m going to call triage to get monitored, but wondering if anybody else experienced this? Sometimes they are one every half an hour to an hour, and other times I have perhaps 4 or 5 practice contractions every few minutes!
Feel like my body is failing
I know some will think this is dramatic, if you do probably best if you just scroll...
I'm almost 34 weeks pregnant and I feel like one thing after another is happening to my body. Went through severe morning sickness, severe allergies, anemia etc etc. Now, I can barely draw, write, cut up food or do any crafts because my fingers lock into place (see photo). The whole side of my hand will suck in and all my fingers will get stuck in whatever position they are in. In addition to this, I was simply eating a kiwi and my tooth shattered (yes I have a healthy mouth and teeth)... I have been feeling so winded and exhausted, that even if I stand to pour some juice I get extremely tired and have to stop to sit down. Sometimes bad cramps when I get Braxton hicks (all baby movement has been the same and spot on), extremely bad hip and what I call cervix pain. I am aware women out there have it much much worse, it's just making me sad and down because I can't enjoy things I normally enjoy
