They didn't ...I thought Braxtons were sort of cool. They didn't hurt a bit. They felt like what they were: a muscle clenching and getting strong, getting ready to do what it was made to do.<BR/>Maybe my point of view comes from working out. I am a workout fanatic. Early on, someone gave me a water bottle with the motto Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body. Those became my words to live by. In a large part they're why I have had three children and my body is in better shape than when I was playing field hockey in high school. I compete in triathalons and if necessary I'm relatively confident I could bench press a car.<BR/>Regular contractions, I'm told, are worse than Braxton-Hicks. I never got to experience a single "real" contraction because all my children were breech and they were delivered by C-section.<BR/>So don't worry; it's almost over!<BR/>-SuzannneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-41460167601372401352008-07-28T12:31:00.000-07:002008-07-28T12:31:00.000-07:00ooops. just realized you answered that question al...ooops. just realized you answered that question already.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-74710713246504542172008-07-28T12:27:00.000-07:002008-07-28T12:27:00.000-07:00Are you wearing maternity jeans?
