well emailed my Dr about the cramping and hardening on my tummy that I had for half the day yesterday and she said it's normal that I'm having Braxton Hicks contractions... I didn't have these with my first pregnancy so it's all new to me lol and may I add dame they are uncomfortable and hurt a little... she said when I get them to just relax and drink about 32oz of water but if they get a pattern then I'm to go get checked out
