Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Braxton-Hicks

December 18, 2007 — 12:50 am

I’m dead exhausted here, trying to get work finished up so I can go to BED and SLEEP, but I had to write this before I forgot.

Just sitting here and my belly gets a funny tingly, prickly sensation. I get a lot of different feelings from down there, depending on what Devin is moving… kicks are obvious, but there are rolls, which feel like my stomach just turned upside-down, and there are stretches, where it feels like he’s stretching my uterus out at both sides. But this one… this one is really hard to place. I poked at my belly and… it was ROCK hard. Lightbulb!! Those are Braxton-Hicks! AH HA!! I’ve been feeling that tingly feeling once or twice a day… certainly nothing alarming at all. I just didn’t put two and two together, I thought it was Devin doing something funny!

It lasted all of 30 seconds then slowly went away. I know BHs are completely normal, so I’m not freaking out or anything. I’m just kind of glad that I figured out what the heck that was!
