Aw, first time mommy struggles talaga! Yung hardening ng tyan (Braxton Hicks) ay normal na, lalo na pag malapit na mag-8 months, pero kung palaging masakit at hindi lang yan tigil-tigil, better to check with your OB para ma-rule out kung may iba pang nangyayari, one of my mum friends had similar concerns at inassure siya ng doctor na okay lang, pero mas natulog siya ng mahimbing after na. How often ba talaga ang pain, and is it paired with spotting or anything else?
