Movement ..vs....contractions .....

So I feel really stupid for asking this , but with my first , I never went through the diffrent stages of labor , I had to be induced due to me being preclamptic ..

But this little momma is "HUGE" according to the past two u/s , they are saying that shes almost 2.5 weeks ahead in size and weight .... with that being said ..

Well when ever she gets moving my belly tightens up from the top of the fundal to the pelvic and around into my back , That sounds like contractions right ?? and I time them they are about 8-10 min apart and will go on like thatfor about anhour or so then stop.....

But Im kinda confused about it because its just when she starts to move around that the "contraction like" feeling comes around ... So I guess what Im asking is... Is it possible that she just that much out of room and when she gets moving around it her "pulling and streching " my skin and that why it feels like a "contraction" ??

I really dont want to call my L&D because everything to them is "round lig pain and dehydration", and if I go in its a waste of 4-5 hours only to be told that shes just big .. any advise is really apprectiated thanks  

I don't really know but I feel the same thing quite a bit. Hope you get an answer so I know too!! 

watching.. been having the same prob.. hate l&d for giving me no info.. and wasteing lots of time

it is just her stretching out your skin and making it tight. I remember when my daughter would move at first I thought it was a contraction but then the hardness would last for quite a few minutes and then when she would move around it would go away, so I am figuring it was just her stretching me out and making it hard.

Yeah, it's just her moving around. My kiddo is doing the very same thing right now. Whole reason why I'm online instead of sleeping!
