: Well, since I haven't been at my computer all day today, I guess I have a lot to say. Heehee!
: I believe I mentioned in my scary experience post yesterday that I started cramping after the whole yellow jacket incident. Well, I talked to the doctor on-call and they asked me all these questions and determined all was okay. Then last night I began to notice the "tightening" in my uterus that many of you have described. It's weird, one second my tummy might feel a bit spongy (just while sitting down) and the next minute it's hard all over--it feels like a rock is under the skin. It happened for a few hours last night about every 5-10 minutes and then I only noticed it once today during church services. But I have to be actually paying attention to notice it because I don't really feel anything. There is no pain associated with the hardening and it doesn't make me feel sick or anything. Is this what Braxton-Hicks feel like? I have a friend who's had early labor contractions (doctor has had to put her on anti-contraction meds) and she said she felt absolutely no pain with hers.
: Anyway, any information you can provide would be great. I have to go for a while, but I'll check back on tomorrow sometime and see what you all have to say. Thanks!
: Tight hugs,

they sound like braxtion hicks to me. normally happens in the 7th month and get more noticed in the 8 or 9th month. if they was real contractions you would know lol
