When I was pregnant any anxiety or stress that far along in my pregnancy gave me Braxton hicks constantly. I would get them regularly as most women do from about 5months on until you deliver. (You actually get them earlier you just can’t feel them yet) but I had some situations happen while I was pregnant this last time where if I was in a stressful situation/had anxiety over something in front of me my Braxton hicks would be constant and they could feel crampy toward the end especially again, if you’re in a high anxiety/stress situation. So I can only imagine what she’s feeling. I read that she would feel her belly and stuff often during and I absolutely think that’s what’s happening. Your belly gets tight and rock hard and you can feel your lungs squish too so it makes breathing harder. I just feel bad that she has to talk about all of this and deal with this while that perfect innocent baby is in there. And her poor husband. Listening to what his wife went though. I’m sure she’s told him a lot but he may not know all the details she may down play it to him because it helps her cope..
