[kate101392]

Felt like baby balled up and stayed that way a good minute it took my breath away it hurt so bad..advice? I will be 38 weeks tuesday

The feeling of baby balling up is actually Braxton hicks and or contractions! With my first i always thought it was baby balled up but it was braxton hicks and around 38 weeks it was full contractions! So just make sure you time how long that feeling last

Sounds like contractions darling. If they get close or if you start noticing bleeding or watery discharge or big gush of fluid go to labor and delivery. Good luck momma and keep us posted!

I'm not even sure my belly gets hard as a rock and I have the pain there and down below for about a minute and then waits a little bit and comes back

Are you sure it is baby balling up and not contraction? If you live farther than 30 minutes away and it is happening less than 7 minutes apart I would go get checked. If you live closer than 30 minutes and it is happening between 2 and 5 minutes apart then go in.

She's done it several times and it keeps getting closer together..

There is not much you can do about it. :( It is normal. I am 27 weeks and my baby balls up and it also hurts. I usually just try to put a litttle pressure on my belly to get her to move and relax. Sorry at least you are almost there. Good luck! :)
