So i am 33w and 4 d i am having some contractions (i believe)? I can feel my belly tighten and some small pain, however is it normal for the pain to fun down my leg?? this is my second baby but i never felt this before? What do u ladies think? And advice is greatly appreciated.

Im a first time mom so Im really not sure I would think it is probably normal though... My baby likes to lay on nerves that make my legs go numb so pain seems possible too?! Id call the doctor just to make sure!!

Braxton hicks maybe? Did you ever get them with your first?

No i never had braxton hicks with my first and i was induced at 37 weeks i never got to feel what natural was like. I am excited i dont think he will be coming for quiet a while. I told my fiance i started feeling them and he freaked out lol i told him no worries these are surely just for practice!!!

sciatic nerve. The baby is pressing on your nerve in you back that causes that. Well usually if its going down your leg. Also on the inner part of your leg might just be pressure. Sometimes with a second or third baby you get more pressure because your body knows more how this all goes. Your hips sepperating cause the inner leg muscle pain.

It's so hard to say... My braxton hicks are on the regular 2 min apart daily and never stop. Been this way for weeks. But they're not doing anything to my cervix.

But... It doesnt mean yours arent doing anything. You could be dilating. Call your doctor. You never know.
