Is this normal?

Im 22 weeks pregnant, and since last night I have been having really sharp agonizing pains, almost like cramps, but at the top of my stomach close to my ribs and right below my breasts down to my belly button. Please let me know if this is normal or if I should go see my doctor. Thanks!

Sounds like braxton hicks. Some women only experience a tightening while others have pain with them.
If they are consistent and are very painful I would get checked out by your doctor.

at 22 weeks I would get seen. YES they could very well be braxton hicks.. but you really should be seen. Also drink LOTS of water... if they are the real deal, then they often are caused early on because of dehydration
