I feel so stupid when I went to see my Midwife she was doing the fundal measurement, stopped, looked at me and said she will have to wait as I was having some braxton hicks. Of course this was a good thing, made my stomach do a bit of a flurry (like OMG this is really happening). She explained that for a first timer my body was doing a great job of preparing me for birth.

Up until now the tightness I had been feeling I put down to bubs doing tumble turns or something I feel like a bit of a dag now.

I get a few a day so Im not at all worried - in fact everytime I get one I'm a bit excited but my 'need to know everything' nature got the best of me and I wondered......

Is there such a thing as too many BH?? Can it cause Premature Labour?? If they start too early in pg are you sent for bed rest just to be safe??
