Braxton Hicks

Yesterday I started feeling some scary cramping. Midget was bouncing around like crazy for about 3 hours straight, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. The cramping was very uncomfortable and kept coming, so I decided to look it up in my books and start tracking it. I counted 4 in one hour and decided to call my doc. Apparently I'm having Braxton Hicks already. Doc says most women have them after 20 weeks, but they don't feel them. Again, my super-sensitive body is freaking me out. I was told that if I have more than 6 per hour, to go straight to OB triage. I'm praying that won't happen and if it does, it'll happen in a couple weeks when we reach the 24-week mark. For some reason, that milestone makes me feel so much more comfortable. If anything were to happen, I'd want it to happen then.

Angie thanks for your nice comment on by blog. The mean commenter... I have since adjusted so there is no longer the anonymous option.

I'm so sorry you have to have those already! I had to ask my co-workers what Braxton Hicks was. I'm sure that there isn't much that I can do to help but please let me know if there is!
