Typically, it is a false alarm set through a fire/security system.
That is what Braxton hicks contractions are like.
When one starts I think....umm....could this be it? Then.....nope.
It truly is a good practice contraction.
Mine start in my back and then round to my front and feel like a tightening charlie horse.
This is exactly how April explained a contraction to me and she is absolutely right.
Today's are a little more harsh than usual, but not close together, not measurable, and manageable.
Yesterday, I was "crampy". I think.
You see, I am one of the lucky ones who never really experienced menstrual cramps ever.
Maybe this is because I have just one ovary? I don't know.
Anyway, yesterday felt like poop pains.
Today, I actually hunkered over twice, although the while standing and eating watermelon at the breakfast bar. Yep, the pain didn't stop me from eating. HA!
And, as quickly as they came, they were gone.
To my Preggie friends, what our friends who have delivered tell us about contractions is right: when you have one, you will know that you are having one.
As for now though...I am having an automatic alarm. Not time yet.
