Painful abdomen when i wake up at night... any ideas? ? ?!


Question: Painful abdomen when i wake up at night!.!.!. any ideas!? !? !?
I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant, and during the night when i wake up to got to the toilet or get a drink, my abdomen is really painful!. I cant even describe the pain, it really strange, its sort of like a pressure obviously from the baby!. But sometimes i cant even stand up straight because the muscles are so tense! it only happens at night time when i have been sleeping!. I've had it for a week or 2 now and its just getting so bad!

Has anyone had anything like this!? What do you think it could be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Definitely call your OB to double check, but it sounds like you could be having contractions!. I started having regular contractions at 32 weeks and they came every night from 1am to 4am and that's exactly when I went into labor! Just at 42 weeks and 3 days! It's always best to call your OB or midwife when you are having pain though!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like you're having braxton hicks contractions!. Its kind of like your uterus practicing for the real thing!.
Sounds like you will pop any day now!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
