Ok I have been having some sharp pains in the middle of my stomach and it does tighten up pretty good too... I heard that braxton hicks are not suppose to hurt and these do... Has anyone had bh and they were painful? Or do you think it is something else??? Also in the middle of the night I woke up with really sharp pains... I curled up in a ball because it hurt so bad....Any advise????
