QUESTION: I know braxton hicks are described as your stomach hardening and not persistent throughout the day, but what if your stomach is hard and you have mild cramping that's tolerable, but they you only get them about 5 times per day at about 30-45 mins apart....are those real contractions?
no. contractions are about every 7 mins or shorter and worsen withing time. but if you begin to bleed go get checked. every body is different and every pregnancy is different. its all upon your comfort level of pain. if its too much then go in. just monitor your cramps. 😊
No! Maybe those are the braxton hicks!! Cramping AND hardening. You will know when the real contractions are!! Theyre usually 5 min apart for an hour

You can be racist towards the race of your friends.
You can be racist towards your own race.
You can be racist towards the race of your family.
You can be racist towards the race of your spouse.
You can be racist towards the race of your kids.
Your racism doesn't just stop being racism because 'X' is said race.
Racism is Racism.
Thanks for coming to this very well needed TedTalk.
