braxton hicks ??

for the last couple of days i have been getting quite a few braxton hicks contractions, is only one else getting them?

i thought its a little early as im only 21 weeks but my belly goes rock hard....

I had them early, very early with my last pregnancy (maybe @ 24 weeks?) and my dr. put me on bedrest for a week. And then I didn't get them again until closer to delivery. Fortunately, I haven't gotten them yet in this pregnancy.

I got a few the other day and realized I forgot to drink any water oops. I have not had any since I increased my fluids HTH

mmmmm....i cant do bedrest far from it !!!i have to take kyal for his gromit operation, then i have to work 3 long days (7.30am till 8pm) at A & E.....

but im defo drinking loads of water because i get lots of racing pulses throughout the day like a feeling of claustrophobia and the only way to calm it down is drinking water.....

but now with me writing everything down i think i should go see the doc! just incase thats the trouble with me im too busy assessing other people

Yes, definitely ask your doc about it! Let me know what he/she says!

I'm on semi-bedrest right now....and it SUCKS!!!

Have you had your iron levels checked? When I was anemic my first pregnancy I had the same symptoms. Soon as I was on iron pills I felt a ton better.
