Lol I know what you mean. I had a few trips to the emergency room with my first baby. I'm gonna try to play it cool this time around lol. @nervousmommy

@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
