Are My Symptoms Connected With Braxton Hicks Contraction?
I am 26 weeks pregnant and for the past week I have been having a bad pain in my right side it s off and on but every time it comes back it s way more intense than last time, now the pain is all across my lower back (it feels like I fell on my bum on ice) I can t sit properly and it hurts even more when I m standing, the pain is starting to send a cramping feeling through my right side to my lower belly.. Is this just Braxton hicks or does it sound serious? This is my first baby so I have no idea what s normal and what s not

Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, the movement of the baby in the womb with particular postural adaptations are associated with Braxton Hicks contractions which you are feeling and there is no other reason for the same. Have a happy pregnancy outcome.

Take care
