Frustrating! Of course the local pediatrician would refer you to Dartmouth, makes sense. Good for you for finally calling someone else, though!

When I worked at the local elementary school, towards the end of the first grade, the teacher pulled out these old books that had obviously been used for years. They were about how a sperm fertilizes an egg and that's how a baby is made. I believe it was some sort of animal that was in the book, instead of humans. That seemed to be when they broached the subject. I'm not sure what I would tell my 4 1/2-year-old if she asked about that right now! Whoa, we just finished watching, “Captain America.”

]]> Comment on Week 33 – Braxton Hicks? by Sara http://beingsara.com/story/week-33-braxton-hicks/comment-page-1/#comment-198286 Sara Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:57:25 +0000 http://beingsara.com/?p=49#comment-198286 Hi Emily - 33 weeks, congrats! I'm not a doctor, but your description sounds to me like Braxton Hicks. I'd be willing to bet the first thing your doctor's office will ask you is how far apart are the contractions? If they go away with rest, and don't continue on a regular schedule then it's usually just your body preparing for the big day. But, if you're nervous, give your doctor's office a call. Peace of mind will certainly cause less stress ;-) Good luck on the home stretch! Hi Emily – 33 weeks, congrats! I’m not a doctor, but your description sounds to me like Braxton Hicks.

I'm surprised I went this long. A month ago I was admitted to the hospital with preterm labor/contractions. They tried to stop contractions but it never worked. It only messed with my heart since it was heart medicine they chose. Only the past 3 days had I had a break from contractions and back pain. Now this morning, that's all I have is the wonderful back pain and stomach feeling tight. I noticed my belly seems a lot smaller than it was a couple days ago. But baby is moving well so I guess maybe I just lost water weight. I'm honestly not holding my breath about her coming out any time soon. I know that usually babies are born two weeks before or after the due date. We'll see. My mom had all her children exactly on their due dates. I guess for now it's a waiting game to see when she'll be here. I hate that she's going to be here in the Winter where it will be all cold and she'll have to go for appointments all the time. But what can ya do. I plan to keep her safe and bundled up though. Well, I’m 38 weeks +1 day pregnant today. I’m surprised I went this long.
