Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Marilyn. 340]

Has anyone experienced Braxton Hicks yet? I am pretty sure I have. At first I thought it was just the baby moving into a strange position but after reading about it online I am pretty sure it is BH. My stomach will get really hard for a few seconds and then it goes away.

That is what my labour pains felt like after I had my epidural.

Makes sense that BH would feel similar.

I have a few times for a week or two now that I've noticed anyway. I mentioned it to the doctor and described it and she confirmed that's likely what it was -same with some friends. Although I've had another person tell me it's WAY too early to get those and I'm just being silly. I think I'll listen to the doctor instead of her. On a bright note, while they can be a little annoying they don't seem to hurt or last long. I haven't had one that I've noticed in a few days now.

I never had BH, but my daughter used get the hiccups a lot. Now that feels weird! LOL

After she was born and in the NICU, her father was able hold her the first time and she got the hiccups. He was like "Yep, right baby!"

veenDee, I hope this month gets better. Changes like this are never easy.

MArilyn, I think I may have felt a BH contraction. The whole stiff tummy was weird. Didn't hurt though.

AFM, last Tuesday I got confirmation on my new job from now to Christmas. Same school system, different department so thankfully my benefits don't change. I am excited.

IN Canada visiting family that doesn't believe in air conditioning. So glad I get to go home today!

Got my bfp this morning!! We are not telling anyone yet, but I had to share here with you all. I turn 40 tomorrow, talk about a b-day present!

Lilac we are headed up to Canada Thursday and I'm not looking forward to my parents apartment for three weeks.

Marlyn, I had bh with a few of my pregnancies they were the worse with Alexis. I had them almost daily for a few months before she was born.

The BH feel uncomfortable but they don't really hurt. I only get them once in awhile.

What a wonderful birthday gift! You must be so excited! I'm 39 too and I'm just on pins and needles and every day I'm so grateful that things have been going so well! (10 weeks tomorrow!)

Congratulations Ontarkie!! Glad to hear that news. Hope you have a great birthday

[lilacvioletiris 11]

Congrats Ontarkie! Glad you got the birthday present you were hoping for! Hopefully you will make it through the 3 weeks at your parents. I just couldn't stay that long. I love my in laws but there habits don't jive with mine.

[NikLR 13,230]

Yay Congrats!

Congrats, Ontarkie! That's great.

Yes, I've started experiencing BH contractions but I mistook them for the baby being pressed up against me in some weird position. I'm glad to hear it's not that. Time to add the information to my notebook and tell the doc about it on Thursday.

Has anyone got recommendations on how to find a good pediatrician? I don't know enough people with children to ask for personal recommendations around here, and my ob-gyn is on the other side of town (and other hospital network) from where I live.
