I've spent the afternoon being monitored for contractions. All morning I kept having tightness in my uterus that felt all too familiar. Fairly consistent tightness on and off in contraction patterns. I went to the doctor to make sure that I wasn't losing my mind. Sure enough, I'm having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions. These are totally normal however this early on it was alarming to me. The doctor put me on bed rest but didn't seemed overly concerned. He said that because I've had many pregnancies it's common to have BH this early. It's typically harmless. They will just monitor me closer. This pregnancy has already been a bumpy ride but I refuse to let anything steal the joy of it. We could definitely use prayers that things progress safely and that we carry a healthy baby to term.
