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
@emily18234, @momof1.5 yes its all very new and pretty scary lol! I'll take your advice and try to rest and drink water, thanks so much! Every new thing scares me but I'm trying not to overreact so much
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.
@emily18234, i've actually gotta be at work soon, on my feet for a few hours which I'm a little concerned about
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
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
