I am 35 weeks pregnant and i feel this really sharp pain from the middle of my stomach to the right side. ?

Question

is that normal? what is going on.

Answer 1

My guess would be that it's braxton hicks contractions which are your body's way for preparing for labor. Practic contractions in a way. If they continue, are bothersome or you are really worried, I would say contact your doctor. As I am not a doctor, anytime you are really concerned, the best thing to do is consult with your doctor, nurse or midwife. Best of luck!

Answer 2

yes  had this too it is 100% normal..it sounds to me like ligament pains(because they are stretching so much)...i had these bad for a few nights and could not sleep! but i was told to sleep and lay with lots of pillows, especially underneath my belly to support it so if you arent already I'd suggest this..it really helped and i havent felt it since..lots of luck!!!

Answer 3

it's just normal pregnancy pains, i hurt all the time, especially around my belly button for some reason, it's unexplainable, but it's normal. if you start hurting constantly though, you should call you DR.

Answer 4

kinda sounds like your baby is pressing up against a nerve.  

Answer 5

It is probably where your baby is shifting around to start engaging, if it hasnt already engaged. I found this to be quite uncomfortable. It could also be a bit of braxton hicks, the practice contrations where your stomach is tightening in preparation for the birth. Dont forget your baby doesnt have much room to move around in there now.

I think this is quite normal to have these pains, and is nothing to worry about. If you are unsure about it-query it at your next antenatal. Good luck
