Q: Braxton Hicks
asked by: fairytale007 on September 17th, 2007

I know Suzy posted about this last week, but I had another question about them. I read on What to expect.com that you might notice your belly getting sort of pointy or bunched up during a contraction. Have any of you noticed this to be true when you were experiencing Braxton Hicks? I've always thought it was just my baby in a weird position whenever my stomach got really pointy for a few seconds then went back to how it was, but now I'm not so sure. Confused

Yea that's what mine does. I just always looked at it, and think "did I make it do that?" lol. But now I'm thinking it might be braxton hicks. I'll ask my doctor tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, my work is going to hate me. I have to call off, since they still haven't given me 2 set days off this week. I technically only have Thursday off this week but tomorrow was the only time I could get in for my appointment, so they can go suck a Smile

Ah the glucose test wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. If you already have the drink, pour it on ice and drink it cold.

I get my Rh shot tomorrow. Fun stuff.

mine gets that way sometimes, pointy looking. it looks more like she moves all right in the middle and it gets tight. but usually my belly just tightens around her and doesn't get pointier looking.
