i am having a dull achy pain in my abdomen. I went to the hospital and they told me i am having contractions but not in labor, but i feel like something is wrong. The pain is happening too often and i cannot get comfortable at all. They did a test that said i would not be having the baby for at least the next two weeks, but i dont know what to do to make this better
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor The pain may be due to Braxton hicks contractions. These are contractions that are felt before labor, they are the bodies of preparing for labor to occur.

There is no treatment indicated for Braxton hicks, but some women find that changing their positions and making sure that they are well HY Chat Doctor. I hope this helps
