Uy mama, I understand how scary and uncomfortable that is! Please stay in touch with your doctor or go to the hospital right away if the pain gets worse or you feel anything alarming , hindi dapat ito i-ignore, lalo na first time mo pa. Maraming moms in our group experienced Braxton Hicks or false contractions din before active labor, kaya you're not alone dito! What worked for a few of us was changing positions (walking, sitting on a birthing ball), staying hydrated, at trying to rest kapag kaya. But since your doctor is monitoring you, follow their guidance closely at huwag mag-hesitate na bumalik kung may changes. Hugs, mama, alam namin ang sakit nito!
