... I got so stressed at work today that I started getting braxtons! I was so cross because this person was causing me to have them!!!

I wanted a stress free pregnancy, doesn't look like I am going to get it.

what are braxtons

Braxton hicks? They are like practice contractions, you tend to get them ever
so often... You don't always feel them though.

i had like a stitch before was a little painfull could this be the same thing? also like pain in the groin in the lady bits lol

They should only be mild cramps, shouldn't be painful at all as they are just "practice contractions" inwoul say that that's your ligaments causing those pains as I get those too- had them a pull/stich just under my belly button today.

So for a braxton, you want to look out for cramping. Your uterus will contract so you should feel you belly get gently hard and then relax not long after. They should never really hurt.x
