It's more bothersome when I stand after being off my feet for a while and both times I've experienced this it's been at the end of my day (being on my feet/chasing and p/u my toddler all day..).</p> <p>Does this sound like a normal thing at this stage of the game? </p> <p>I never had Braxton Hicks with my lo. So, I looked up what that should 'feel like' ...and what I'm experiencing is nothing like what I read. It's not really contraction like, it's more along the line of a swollen/dilated feeling. Last checkup, my placenta was low and I get a follow up to see if it's moved in 4 weeks. I feel as if I'm carrying very low with this one.<br /> Any tips or advice..? Thanx :heart: </p>
