Contractions? Braxton Hicks? or Baby Movement?

Hahaha! So cute the name you have chosen :) Congratulations. Yes, this sounds very much like Braxton Hicks. Your tummy tightens up with that "balling" sensation. I would let your doc know just as a heads up, they may want to check you for dialation, et cetera. VERY NORMAL, don't stress. If this is your first then you are going to stress no matter what. I am the mother of two very natural born children (6 and 2 respectively) and what you are describing is very normal. I would say it's a combination; as your muscles contract with the practice Braxton Hicks moves your baby is gonna get mad and start moving around and protesting. This in turn will signal your body to release prolactin to start your delivery contractions. Just get ready, map your route and RELAX :) BTW pain is normal, don't let it freak you out.
