A member asked:
While pregnant i was having lower left abdominal pains that felt the same as my labour pains starting at 7 wks. what are possible causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Braxton-Hicks: Early labor contractions are called braxton-hicks and are not well orchestrated yet prior to "real" labor. It is as if the "conductor is rehearsing a performance" for later in the pregnancy.
