Hi, I'm getting really sharp pains down the rhs of my bump and I'm 33 weeks. Is this too early for BH and why just down one side?! They hurt so much I can't stand up straight when it happens.

I've had BH from 15 weeks (though this is my third) so def not too early! I find them uncomfortable - belly goes rock hard for a while and then relaxes - but not painful. Could be a real contraction or could be muscle strain - have you called your mw? Def do if it becomes regular

Doesn't sound like them as I experience them - it's under the bump (as it's stomach muscles, such as they are!) and it goes all tight and hard for 10-30 seconds, but doesn't hurt. Sounds like you have strained yourself somehow.
