Tightening Question

I am about 21 weeks.. and for the past 2 hours or so ive had so much tightening and pain in my left side going into my lower back.. feels better to lay down but should i call the doctor? or has anyone had this? sorry first time pregnancy

hey your due a day after me and i been feeling the same way latley its got so bad i went to the ER i wanted to ask the same thing

I'd be thinking BH. When you lay down, do they stop or get better? Drink a LOT of water and see if that helps too. All else fails, call you OB and see if they want you go to in.

Quoting zean:“ I'd be thinking BH. When you lay down, do they stop or get better? Drink a LOT of water and see if that helps too. All else fails, call you OB and see if they want you go to in.”

i still feel the tightness everywhere and in my left side and lower back.. its been like that now for like 4 hours

Could be round ligament pains too. When everything is stretching so much you can be in a LOT of pain. You can try a heating pad to help relax your muscles as well.

it still has not went away. i called my doctor 45 mins ago and he said drink water like u said =) and if nothing subsides goto the hospital. so i guess that's where i am going..might be for nothing but oh well
