Hi Rosa, did you notice if your tummy felt tight at the same time? I have been getting lots of Braxton hicks, and in the last week or so, the sensation has included a stitch like pain in my lower abdomen. Almost like a pulling upwards, accompanied with a tight tummy and a real surge of adrenaline (it takes my breath away a bit).

I also had some REALLY bad cramping pains last week, which my midwife think were just stretching pains.

I know this isn't actually an answer, but I hope you feel a bit re-assured that your body is doing exactly what it needs to be doing to prepare for labour.

If you're worried, its always worth calling your careprovider.

HTH
