We went for an ultrasound just a few days ago and baby was quite happy in there..... I think it's just one of those lovely pregnancy things! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-696338 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:41:46 +0000 yourekindapretty 696338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cherrybee - OH NO! is it still going on? tried calling your nurse maybe? or maybe youre just getting a lot of fiber in your diet so your digestive system is super fueled? i hope it's nothing serious! =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-696334 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:39:57 +0000 Cherrybee 696334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yourekindapretty: Eek! Well if it's early labour it's been going on for over a week!!! Lol. Thanks for the correction! </p> <p>I can only imagine that it's my insides rearranging themselves as they get all squished up! It's doing my head in, whatever it is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-696328 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:32:06 +0000 yourekindapretty 696328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>correction: my hubs really wants me to correct my previous comment. diarrhea pains does not equal BH. diarrhea pains are a sign of early labor.... </p> <p>=( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692692 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:15:24 +0000 Maysprout 692692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never felt like that. When you feel it does your stomach get really hard? If it's BH your stomach should harden some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692619 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:47:31 +0000 Pepper 692619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with everything @photojane said! Mine feel like a tightening... like my uterus is making a giant fist. They don't hurt, though they can be uncomfortable. </p> <p>I've been having bad stomach pains like you're describing after I eat... they go away on their own, but I just think I'm having trouble digesting things with all of the changes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692598 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:42:47 +0000 photojane 692598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BH never felt like poopy pains. Mine were always text book - tightening across my belly, mostly concentrated on the top. I've never heard them described differently than the tightening, but I'm not an expert! I did have lots &amp; lots of BH though. I did have TERRIBLE gas pains while I was pregnant though &amp; my digestive system was wackadoodle. It's possible that you're just experiencing the wonders of your intestines, stomach, etc. being all shifted around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692574 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:31:51 +0000 yourekindapretty 692574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i "think" so. i'm 29 weeks and last night i woke up because of a menstrual like cramp. it subsided once i rolled over onto my side, and once it weened off, i realized it felt like i had diarrhea.<br /> my husband googled it for me this morning and said it could be BH..... =T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692502 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:06:39 +0000 illumina 692502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure what BH's are supposed to feel like and I'm a bit of a way behind you with my pregnancy, but what you described reminded me of how I felt over the weekend... It was always when I was sitting in the car and I got like a tightening pain right across my lower abdomen like I was about to explode if I didn't make it to the toilet. I just assumed it was gas so didn't do anything about it and in each instance it disappeared a few minutes later. It must have been something I ate because I haven't felt like that before or since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-braxton-hicks-feel-like-diarrhea-pains#post-692450 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:49:08 +0000 Cherrybee 692450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I feel like a right plum asking this!! </p> <p>About 10 days ago (when I was 22 weeks pregnant) I started getting these waves of "oh-my-gosh-I-need-to-run-the-the-toilet" - you know the awful gripey pains in your tummy - but by the time I got there the urge had passed. I didn't think much of it, though, because I was in Egypt and fully expected some tummy trouble.....</p> <p>.... but it hasn't stopped! It happens maybe a couple of times a day. I've stopped running to the toilet now, I just ride it out and about 30 seconds later it goes away! </p> <p>Could this be the BH I've heard so much about??? Or has Egypt ruined me for good?!!! </p>
