You may start to experience some Braxton
Hicks which has often been described as
preparing your uterus for the real thing.
In essence it is preparing your uterus for
the hard work of giving birth. These contractions
typically last for 30 seconds and may not
obvious now even if it happens but in the
later part of pregnancy they can cause you
to feel uncomfortable or even slight pain.
These contractions are more noticeable when
you are engaged in some form of exercise
or while walking; in other words when you
are active. Your uterus will tighten considerably
for some seconds; most of the time they
are irregular and painless. |

It is good to remember or remind yourself
that you are doing a good job with your
pregnancy. Leading a baby-friendly lifestyle
by steering clear of alcohol and smoking,
eating healthy, and taking good care of
yourself and your baby in general is quite
adequate. Taking things to the extreme by
listening to prenatal music while you relax
or eating organic salad instead of the regular
variety is not going to make you a better
parent. Bottom line is you don't want to
rob yourself of the joy that goes along
with being pregnant by focusing on the stuff
that doesn't really matter. So just chill!
