Braxton Hicks

Being that this is my first baby I'm reading the baby books like crazy to not only find out what's new with the baby but to also keep me informed of changes that are happening with my body. The book I rely on the most is a week to week book that tells me what to expect....I have however lost faith in this as it did not tell me contractions could begin this early on.

Long story short...contractions began Saturday night (Jan 31st) and I was completely freaking out. I called the OB emergency line at the hospital and she quickly informed me that I was probably experiencing braxton hicks (sporadic uterine contractions). I hung up the phone and of course worried the rest of the weekend but was so thankful I had another ultrasound scheduled for Monday so that I could be reassured that everything was okay.
