having contractions

[quote name='IcePrincessKRS' date='Sep 9 2005, 01:48 PM']Most women begin having Braxton Hicks much earlier on, like in the second trimester. You don't feel like they are helping except MAYBE at the very end. They're really just irksome. (Your stomach area hardens---sometimes the whole area, sometimes just part---and is uncomfortable, and sometimes it can hurt.)  BH don't mean that the baby is coming soon, though. lol

Yeah, but she said the other day that the doctor said the baby was gettin' ready, so I figured it was a safe bet to agree.

Yup, he told me any time now I could go into labor and to be prepared......

Have someone you know post when it happens :

Seriously...ask a PMer for a phone number and call them to have a thread made so we can pray for you.

Just hope your baby isn't three weeks overdue, like I was.

I know. lol I was just sayin' that the BH contractions don't necessarily mean that. The baby dropping is the big thing.

I don't know how my mom did it, but then again my brother was also three weeks overdue, so maybe she was used to it.
