Hey guys! I'm currently on my 4th pregnancy (3rd live child) at 16 weeks and I've been going to the doctors for awful incredible pains and I'm getting no answers except to pain relief and relax. Could be at all possible that it's actually braxton hicks? The pain comes on really strong to a point of tears then eventually will ease up and go away. Bubby is healthy and moving happily but this pain I can't seem to shake!

Depends it could be the impact of cumulative damage from past pregnancies.
I had a lot of various pains during pregnancy. Braxton hicks were kind of an annoying achy pain. Then there was the stabby pain when the baby dropped. Then there was the pain when the baby decided to sit on my urethra so I couldn't pee!
If your examinations are otherwise fine and your doc has ruled out anything serious Id try and relax (I know easier said than done). Some pregnancies are just so much harder than others.
There is no harm in presenting to hospital to be checked over if you want a second opinion.
I had terrible constipation in the early stages which caused excruciating pain. Just one thought.
