Braxton Hicks

So last night I apparently had my first encounter with Braxton Hicks contractions... My back was in serious pain with a stabbing like feeling that would come and go sparatically... i laid on the couch all night.. but was able to sleep fine... So after my appointment today the doctor reasured me that it was probably Braxton Hicks and that if it happened again or got worse that i should call them and possibly go and get checked... if those are any indication of labor pains.. i have one word for my labor experience... DRUGS! I want drugs and lots of them... almost to the point of a coma...
