Contractions...

Hello all...

For the past few days I have been having what I believe are contractions:
cramping similar to a menstrual cramp, but going way higher (well, my uterus
is stretching much higher, isn't it?). They last for less than 10 seconds
(which was the longest), and go almost as quickly as they come. Sometimes
they start and go gradually, sometimes it's like an electric shock, coming
and going in a flash.

At any rate, they are getting more and more painful. The worst one was on
Saturday, while I was in my car. It surprised me so much I hit the brakes...
thank to all the goddesses no one was behind me: they'd have bumped me.

I have them about 4-5 times a day, and 4-5 times a night. That's normal at
35 weeks, right?

Yup, normal to even have them last longer than 10 seconds. I'd say that
short duration could be a pain/cramp brought on by the baby moving.

Hang in there!
