re: Painful Braxton Hicks

Well, I take back what I said in my previous post. Apparently my "painful BH contractions" are actually stomach pains related to Toxemia (preeclampsia). I woke up this morning and my feet are HUGE, my left being twice as big as my right one. I can't fit any rings on my fingers either. The swelling has gotten worse since this morning and I stay off my feet regularly anyway. My mom had toxemia with me and told me to atleast call and see if I should come in. They started asking me questions, if I had headaches, change in vision, stomach pains, yadda yadda yadda. So, in conclusion, my blood pressure is up, my feet hurt and are gigantic and these pains weren't at all what we thought to begin with. So, any of you having these pains, keep an eye out for other symptoms. You may have toxemia and not even know it yet.
