Braxton hicks contractions are common through every pregnancy. They usually begin at around 6 weeks and continue sporadically throughout the pregnancy. Sometimes they are not noticeable, but other times they can resemble pre-labor. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here
Usually a Braxton hicks contraction is fairly mild compared to a real contraction. This is one way that they can be distinguished. They are also usually irregular and do not grow stronger as time progresses, as true contractions do.
Another common complaint that women voice during a pregnancy is round ligament pain. This is also a normal part of pregnancy and is distinguished by a sharp jabbing pain in the lower stomach or groin area. Usually, this pain is stronger on one side or the other and it usually occurs during the second trimester.
Round ligament pain is the body’s response to the changes that the ligaments are going through during the pregnancy. This pain can be a result of standing up too quickly, sneezing, or a number of other common daily functions.
One of the best ways to relieve this type of pain is prenatal yoga and daily stretching exercises. This can help to ensure that the ligaments are flexible. You can also talk to your doctor about taking over the counter pain medication to help relieve the pain.
