From April2012: Paranoid STM

meljp430

I am currently 34 weeks with my second and have no recollection of what or how I was feeling at this point with my first, but I definitely overdid it this week with a sick 3 year old and having my husband out of town. I have been having what I assumed were braxton hicks for a while now (no real pain/cramping, just a stretching/tightening, and a feeling of having to pee) but suddenly I am paranoid that maybe they are more than that. They are not painful, but my stomach tightens almost entirely and stays that way for more than just a few seconds/minute. Then I also have movement which makes everything tighten and I am pretty sure I can feel body parts moving different directions. I recently have been wondering if I should be concerned. Is anyone else experiencing either of these? Anyone's doctor put them at ease? I have an appointment on Thursday and plan to address it then. My anxiety seems to be getting the best of me and I am trying to enjoy the last weeks as a family of 3!
