What our customers are saying!
"From the easily distracted, day dreaming little girl I had 2 weeks ago, I now have a super star student! My little girl is now concentrating at school for most of the day - her teacher cannot believe the transformation. Last week she received a certificate for 100% improvement in concentration at school and I'm just about to head off to her school assembly where she will receive "Star of the Week" for her class."

Braxton Hicks Contractions
Your uterus is flexing its muscles, warming up in preparation for the birth.
These contractions are usually painless but they can be uncomfortable.
The uterus tightens at the top and gradually spreads downward before relaxing. They usually last between 15-30 seconds but for some as longs as 2+ minutes.
As your pregnancy draws towards the end these contractions may become more frequent, intense and perhaps more painful.
These early contractions are not efficient enough to deliver your baby but they certainly may be a sign that early dilation of the cervix has started. Use this time to practice the labour techniques you have learnt.
Do however keep your midwife or doctor informed and report these immediately if they are frequent (more than four per hour) and/or are accompanied by pain (back, abdominal, or pelvic) or any kind of unusual vaginal discharge, or a history or a warning regarding premature labour.
