Contractions?
I am only 34 weeks pregnant but I think while I was grocery shopping, and on and off today while I was doing some work around the house, I was having mild contractions.
It felt like cramps, very concentrated in my lower part, and I think my uterus was tightening up. I don't know what to think of it because I've never felt contractions before. It actually hurt at times and I was like "Woah" in the grocery store because it felt a little bit intense. More then I thought braxton-hicks would feel like.
Once I got off my feet and relaxed it stopped. Do you all think this could have been contractions?
On Monday I have my BPP and NST so I'll mention it to the doctor and see what he thinks.

Going on Monday. Having my non-stress test and Biophysical profiles done. First ones, but then I'll get them I think every week he said because of my GD. I heard they can tell if you are having contractions on the NST so I'm wondering if it'll happen then!
I am also wondering when I get my first internal? Maybe not until 36 weeks?

In all of my books it says that BH are painless! What I had was definately not painless today! I mean, it wasn't unbearable, but there was definately some pain involved!
