Braxton Hicks Contractions
Posted: 11-12-04 16:31pm

Yesterday I started getting cramps in my uterus and I didnt know what they were, my co-worker today told me they were braxton hicks contractions. It felt like my uterus was cramping, is that what they feel like? I had no idea I could get them at 22 weeks

hi, yeah, it is normal for them to start at 5 mon, don't be worried, just your body "practicing" I never had or have them, I thought I was last wk, but sorry to say I just had to use the pregnant mother's room!!!! But then when I had both of my girls, I still didn;t have contractions on my own, my water broke first and then I had to be induced w/ pitocin (you probably read that about me b4, sorry to be redundant) anyway, like I said, no worries
