Why????
Posted: 01-11-05 23:13pm

Why does my uterus get really really hard and then soften up and then get really hard again, through out the day? Sometimes it gets so hard that I feel as if the baby might get injured! What is this and what am I doing to cause it?

Oh ok. Braxton hicks I thought that those only happened close to the end of your pregnancy????? Why is everything happening so fast for me? I already have my milk, the baby was moving and kicking at 16 weeks and now these braxton hicks things, maybe I farther along than I think I am!

Every pregnancy is different. Ihad them with my son at 20weeks along and inever knew it. This time around...Sometimes I know it and sometimes I dont. Its natural for things to happen sooner. But it doesnt mean anything is going to happen anytime soon. If the braxtons become painful and you cant talk through them, they may be the real things. But since youre just noticing tightenings and then it goes away, you're ok =o)
