24 Week Appointment

Today was my 24 week appointment.  I've been having a lot of painful Braxton Hicks contractions over that last couple of weeks so I was glad to go in and talk to the nurse practitioner.  She was able to reassure me that some of the pains I was having were normal for a 3rd pregnancy.  The others, she didn't like so much.  I've been ordered to do better at staying hydrated and try to rest more.  She also recommended a pregnancy support belt.  They tested me for a UTI as well just in case.  Thankfully, it came back negative.  All else looked great though.  The baby sounded wonderful and there are no other reasons for concern right now.
