I've been noticing some braxton hicks, quite a few over the past hour or so...no pain, but my stomach keeps getting tight. I'm on the verge of calling my doctor, but I'm not sure if I'm overreacting. What would you ladies do? I'll be 25 weeks in a few days

They can be a sign that you need to relax a bit. Drink and lay down or sit down and kick your feet up when you can. Since your going to work just drink water, take it easy, and kick your feet up in your break. Despite resting I got them frequently through my last pregnancy.

the definition of Braxton hicks are your stomach tightening, so it's completely normal

don't be, trust me. I know they're concerning the first time, but they become a way of life.

Braxton hicks are normal. just drink lots of water. if your up and active lay down, if you're sitting down, get up and walk around
