I've been getting the Braxton Hicks/ contractions and tightening of the uterus since about 20 weeks and usually get them every day, in fact I was getting them so much to the point where I was worried that if I was in labor I wouldn't know the difference... and last Friday I started getting shooting pains up my crotch extremely bad, but over the past couple of days I haven't been getting them pains and baby is still moving a lot.... I just wonder why they stopped... makes me think he's going to be in longer...
