Question 1

i am 35 weeks 4 days. stomach keeps tightening and releasing. when should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

If they dont stop: It is normal to have irregular contractions off and on as your uterus prepares for labor. If they contractions do not stop with hydration and rest and if they are coming at regular intervals every 5-10 minutes then you should go to labor and delivery to be evaluated for preterm labor. Because 35 weeks is still preterm it is better to be safe and go for evaluation.

Question 2

im 35 weeks and 4days my stomach tightens up and bsd crapming for a feels weeks what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Braxton Hicks: Your body is getting ready for labor.  Your physician will do a cervical exam at your next visit and tell you whether your cervix is open.

Question 3

my ultrasound says im 35 weeks but my stomach says im 32 weeks what is right?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: The fundal height is measured at every visit after 20 weeks.  Usually, the measurements are within a couple of cm of your gestational age.  If the measurement is larger or smaller than the gestational age, we get an ultrasound to measure the fetus.  This is a better eval of the size/weight of the fetus, but keep it mind that an ultrasound is not exact.

Question 4

im 35 weeks and feel a lot slower movements in the lower part of my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Fetal movement: The general rule of thumb is if you feel what you consider to be a significant change in fetal movement, alert your provider. They will most likely want to verify that all is well with the pregnancy.

Question 5

im 35 weeks and i have stomach aches that can last 20 min or so and my stomach gets really hard. it hurts bad. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Braxton Hicks: Before true labor begins woman may experience false labor pain also known as Braxton Hicks. It's the body's way of getting  ready for true labor.  In false labor contractions are irregular and they go away while true labor are regular  and progressively get stronger and they don't go away. If that occurs you should go to the hospital.

Accepted Answer

: Abdominal cramping at "35 weeks" of pregnancy needs evaluation and exam by your OB physician.

Question 7

is diarrhoea during the 3rd trimester (35 weeks) and stomach cramps a sign of preterm labour?

Accepted Answer

Possibly yes,: getting an exam to check your cervix, and also get help with dehydration, IV fluids, would be a strong recommendation.

Question 8

husband all the sudden feels sick. stomach is tight and is vomiting nonstop and temp is 35.3. should we go to the emerg or is it just a bug?

Accepted Answer

ER: It may well be a severe case of gastroenteritis, but that is a very high fever, and a tight stomach could be a sign of an acute abdomen from such things as appendicitis. At the very least, he can be hydrated, assessed, and an anti-emetic given and prescribed for the unremitting vomiting.

Question 9

im 35 weeks with a lot of pressure in the lower part of my stomatch that cus me to hurt an have braxton hicks. .. i feel like i havr to use the restro?

Accepted Answer

Pressure: This is usually caused by pressure on your bladder and is often present in the third trimester

Question 10

is hardening of the stomach in the 3rd trimester (37 weeks) a sign of labor?

Accepted Answer

Possibly...or not: Labor pains are felt in the lower abdomen, perineum, lower back, and top of the uterus, aka the fundus. Contraction-like "flexing" of the fundal muscle will feel like a hardening, but is normally transient. If you're starting to feel this call your OB because your cervix has to be checked. Keep track of contraction pace &amp; go to ER stat if you start leaking liquid or blood, or if baby stops moving
