"take it easy..."

After a weekend full of braxton hicks contractions, I call my doc yesterday morning to find out if, at 26 weeks, this was normal. Finally got a call back this morning and the doc says I have to stay off my feet and take it easy for the next couple of days. My dad's response was "Isn't that bedrest?" My dad is such a smart cookie! I'm all about take it easy for a couple days, but I'm supposed to go to Tuscaloosa Thursday for a few days. I have an apt with the doc Thursday morning and he's supposed to let me know if I can go. Hope I get to go and really hope I don't go even more stir crazy that I already have.

Re: "take it easy..."
I had a lot of Braxton Hicks around the same time as you with DD#1. One night I even thought we were going to have to go to L&D! I was also told to take it easy, but I never really stopped working or went on official bedrest. On nights that they were pretty frequent I was told to take two tylenol, drink a glass of water, lie in a warm bath for a while, and then get out and lay on my left side. That usually would always make them calm down.
GL!
