I'm 23 weeks pregnant and the last 24 hours i've been getting really bad back pains and my stomach has been tightening to the point where it's rock hard and all out of shape literally should I be concerned or could it just be the baby pressing against something causing the back pain any feedback would be great

My stomach goes hard 4-6 times per day since 20 wks (I'm 25 wks now). If you're getting that more than four times per hour it's recommended that you get checked out. I would call your doc anyways and let him/her know what's going onjust in case.

It sounds like maybe some braxton hicks keep an eye on it and get it checked out if you are worried.

well I went to the doctor about the back pains and he examined me and while he was my stomach tighten again he told me it could be a contraction and for me to take it easy for the next few days and that it could be caused from me worry'n alot lately he told me that the baby could sense stress
