Braxton Hicks contractions!

Dear Isabelle,

It's almost week 22 and Mommy is already experiencing signs of Braxton Hicks contractions. Occasionally, all of a sudden, Mommy's belly becomes very hard and tensed up. It usually happens after all your movements and somersaults you are doing in there.

Daddy felt it for the first time too last night. He had his hand on Mommy's belly and all of a sudden, it became all hard!

Don't worry, it doesn't really hurt Mommy yet, just a little bit uncomfortable. We usually just lay still for a while and it goes away. This is just preparing us for your grand debut!

Love, Mom
