Pregnancy Info HOME

Missie, my doctors aren't much concerned about my contractions unless I'm having more than four in an hour. I generally have several per day, and a lot more if I've been more active than usual. In my last pregnancy, they got so frequent that I was starting to get scared. That was mostly because I had a UTI. They eased a bit once I took antibiotics and got that cleared up. But I still had significantly more in that pregnancy than in the first. (Not that it helped me deliver any sooner, by any means!)

Jessica, way to go, for even trying the sexy nighties! I've pretty much given up on them. I actually have a few things that still work with my big belly, but I just don't have the heart to use them. Maybe it's because I tried them last pregnancy, and they didn't seem to do anything at all for my husband. It's bad enough that I feel huge; but putting effort into looking sexy, and then being turned down, is crushing to the self image. With pregnancy hormones raging, it took me a long time to get over that. (And am I really over it, even now?)
