    Hi cabbellijessica,

    Sorry that this was not seen when you posted it. How did things turn out for you? Did the contractions continue? Did you contact your doctor?

    It can be normal to be feeling contractions as long as they subside and do not become regular, get closer together, and stronger. Often changing your activity will cause them to subside when they are just Braxton Hicks contractions, or practice contractions.

    Are you on your feet a great deal during your shift?
