Call your ob po or ER ka kung sobra na

23 weeks preggy, same mga momshie.. ok naman kami ni baby, malikot sya, at madalas na akong naiihi, kpag matagal akong nakaupo mejo sumasakit ang likod ko at nakakaramdam narin ng leg cramps.. mejo naninigas din minsan pero mabilis lang mawala basta himashimasin at kausapin si baby..

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions. I had those all the way from 24 weeks till I gave birth. Mine were painful but there wasn't anything I could do except to take deep breaths and let it pass slowly. Drink more water and rest. I could still go to work/exercise la.

I think the feeling of tightness is your uterus expanding, causing the muscle and skin surrounding it to stretch. As long as it is not vigorous or strength-intensive activity, you can still go ahead. Consider doing some stretches at night and take it easy when it feels uncomfortable.

I'm 23 weeks preggy na rin po. This past few days I experienced difficulty in breathing at pananakit ng balakang. Is it normal po ba sa ganitong stage? at minsan ang hirap maglabas ng dumi, feel ko nadudumi ako na hindi, wla kasing lumalabas.

pareho tayo mommy . minsan yung pananakit ng balakang connected pa sa legs. ang bigat na nabg tiyan ko at 23 weeks and 5 days. yung sa constipation naman dati ganyan ako. pawis na pawis ako every after poop kasi mahirap talaga . pero nag jncrease ako water intake and mas dinalasan ko oag gugulay and prutas nawala na siya .

I am also experiencing this and sa takot ko kahit midnight I called my OB and she explained na it's normal kasi nag ggrow na si baby and my body is preparing as well. But, kung gusto ko ng walang isipin, she said I can do another utz daw para makita kong healthy talaga si baby.

Same.23w2d 2nd baby. Pag msyado akong busog and feeling ko napagod ako kakalakad or doing whatever, feel ko na tight ang tiyan ko so nagpapahinga lang ako pag ganyan. Next week pa next OB visit ko. Sana ok lang si baby. Pero super likot naman kaya sana ok sya😊🙏

You could be having Braxton Hicks contractions. It is important to call the doctor if: - contractions get stronger or closer together - contractions are not relieved by rest or drinking water - there is fluid leaking from the vagina - there is vaginal bleeding

I'm 23 weeks exactly today! I think it's just ligament round pain which is more noticeable during the second trimester as the baby is rapidly growing during this period, so just rub/massage some cream which helps whenever i feel any tightness :)
