i am currently 22 weeks (will be 23 on monday) and i have been having pain in my upper abdomen (like where my placenta would be) and they get so bad that i have to lay down and breathe really short and fast because expanding my stomach makes it worse. i see my doctor the 30th but was concered because they hurt so bad and have started getting longer. the fist one lasted about 5-8mins. and the second 30.
