Dr. Hicks, I presume
By Aardvark | April 7, 2008
I didn’t sleep well…I woke up several times last night with Braxton Hicks, I think I have been having them for several days. I never had any contractions at all with Scout so I didn’t even realize that I was having them this time…I just thought Miss P was trying to fight her way out. Then Steve said “Are you sure you aren’t having contractions?” I guess anything is possible. So I looked around on the web to see how people describe BH and low and behold I guess that is what is going on. It isn’t painful as much as really uncomfortable and kind of takes my breath away. But it will wake me form a dead sleep on occasion!

All the fun I have to look forward to…
Hope the BH leave you alone so you can get some sleep. Nothing worse than a sleep deprived pregnant lady trying to keep up with a toddler (says someone who resembles that a lot of day).

I have no frame of reference, but any contractions can’t be enjoyable from where I’m sitting. Thus my unstretched cervix.

I guess you didn’t experience contractions last time, did you? I had totally forgotten. It is cliche, but you would totally know the difference between contractions and BH. Unfortunately you won’t know until you experience a real contraction and then you would think, huh, so that’s the difference! Good luck! Can’t wait to see pictures of Miss P!

Guess that is better than waking up with Taylor Hicks !! LAM
