Update: Leaving for L&D now...All the Braxton Hicks talk...

italnprncss78 · May 2011

I have been having tightening/cramping since around 8am (pacific time). At first I just thought BH. (Which I never have had before, so I'm not even sure what it feels like.) Then it got more frequent so I put a call into my midwife. The nurse just called me back & wants me to go into L&D for monitoring. UGH. She said BH are more sporatic and not painful. These are pretty strong. It actually feel like a consistent tightening then every 10 min or so I get a even greater tightening sensation.

I have some work to finish up...then I guess I'm going to L&D.

Never a dull moment.

EDIT: I have been drinking lots of water. Its all I pretty much drink even not being pregnant.

EDIT:It's gotten worse...work will have to wait. Off I go..

Are you drinking enough water? I'll be thinking about you - keep us posted.

T&P for a quick visit to L& D and then you go right home!

Good luck and hopefully its all just a precaution.

I think you should go right away and forget about whatever you are finishing at work. If they were concerned enough to tell you to go then I wouldn't wait.
