Braxton Hicks contractions DO hurt.

15 Oct

Trust me, I’ve had them now for 3 days off and on.  Never close enough together to worry, but enough that I’m having to stop what I’m doing and breathe through them.  I remember having them even earlier with my last pregnancy, but I don’t remember them being quite as painful or as frequent.  I suspect I need to be more careful with my hydration, as well as resting more.  Luckily my oldest was back to school this week after 3 weeks off so I can rest more!

And somewhat related, I want everyone to know that October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  So often, people tend to forget that miscarriage/pregnancy loss is devastating, no matter how far along you are and no matter how many times it happens or how many healthy children you have.  Tonight at 7PM, I will light a candle to remember the angels in my life.  For more info, click here.
