Hard contractions at 8 months

Hey, I'm having a lot of trouble with hard contractions with the slightest exertion. It doesn't hurt but it is unpleasant. Who else has this?

    I’ve had hard contractions since 6 weeks, but mostly when getting up in the morning and after sex.
    Now it’s really like a football when I stand up… I try to gently massage it away and it helps to lie down and relax for a bit.

    But a week ago I got contractions, so I really need to take it easy!!
    I’m only 23 weeks!!

    Wow, already? Oh my, that's not good news. Take it easy, girl, enjoy your rest because pregnancy goes by so fast! For me, it's also exciting to count down!

    Here it's the same as with Olivia! Really quite nasty!

    @Hayat, your body is telling you that you need to take a step back. 34 weeks, those are practice contractions, hardening of the belly, and you get them when you strain... Everything else should be fine with your pregnancy.
    @Olivia-Anna hey girl, are you really taking it easier now??? How are things going forward for you. @Kimjoy hopefully you'll get some relief soon, it's not doable to drive such long distances and all these people advising you that you need to rest now, think about your daughter .

    Love Ju

    Thanks, my pregnancy is going well.
    I do feel like I should take it easy, I’ve got a nesting urge—I can’t even stand to see dust or my Swiffer already... Haha
