Uh-oh! A contraction already?!

Nothing says "Hey, mommy. You've got another PERSON joining your family soon!" like a contraction. Indifferent

I had to call the OB because this is so strange to me. I had tons of BH contrax with the other kids, but never quite this early. And this one I had yesterday wasn't BH, it was the crampy achy kind. THe kind that tells you the baby's coming. The dr's office assured me there were non-frightening reasons this could be happening. Mostly, get off my feet and drink a little extra water for now. Can do! Love the peace of mind I get from calling the nurses.

    Oops, I hit enter! Any who, I'm 17 weeks and I've been in a whole lot of pain. I had a u/s today, and a contraction came...we watched it happen! They don't feel like 'real' contractions, it just feels like cramps. U/s tech said it was a little weird because I'm a FTM, but her and the Dr think it's okay. They also said that the baby is carrying "low", which could possibly cause more problems down the road.

    I hope you feel better!!

    Thanks for responding. That's interesting. Like I said, this is new for me and kinda spooked me. I haven't had more since, but the BH contrax have started. My uterus is still so small, it's so different from what I remember of BH at the end with my other pregnancies. Keep me posted on your contrax. Hope they stop!!

    My doctor mentioned that they generally come earlier every pregnancy ... this is my third that went past the first trimester, and he mentioned that by about 1/2 I could start to experience BHs.
