Well, i thought it lasted a while but it's not. It's like on and off and macam menarik2. hell what is that? No one brief me on this
Tried to calm down by reading a newspaper but it's continuing. Decided to call my Gynae but failed. He did not picking up his phone. What should i do then? Think .Think
Called Jeiji for opinions. She mentioned about this Braxton Hicks Contractions. After googled at baby center, here what it says
What are Braxton Hicks contractions?
Braxton Hicks contractions are sporadic uterine contractions that start about 6 weeks into your pregnancy, although you won't be able to feel them that early. You probably won't start to notice them until sometime after mid-pregnancy, if you notice them at all. (Some women don't.) They get their name from John Braxton Hicks, an English doctor who first described them in 1872.
As your pregnancy progresses, Braxton Hicks contractions tend to come somewhat more often, but until you get to your last few weeks, they'll probably remain infrequent, irregular, and essentially painless. Sometimes, though, Braxton Hicks contractions are hard to distinguish from early signs of preterm labor.
Play it safe and don't try to make the diagnosis yourself. If you haven't hit 37 weeks yet and you're having more than four contractions in an hour — or you have any other signs of preterm labor (see below) — call your caregiver immediately.
By the time you're within a couple of weeks of your due date, your contractions may get more intense and more frequent, and they may cause some discomfort. Unlike the earlier painless and sporadic Braxton Hicks contractions, which caused no obvious cervical changes, these contractions may help your cervix "ripen" — gradually soften and thin out (efface) and maybe even dilate a bit. This period is sometimes referred to as pre-labor.

So we may called it as a false alarm. But if that's the felling on how the real contractions gonna be (eventho it's just part f it) i have to be strong to go through it coz the real pain is gonna be double than that.
Well at least i'm a bit prepared in future.
On another note, i have to drink plenty of water. To avoid from constipations and the urine infections
Welcome to the motherhood, i guess :)
