Braxton-Hicks Contractions

Whomever the genius that came up with the word "contraction" or "Braxton-Hicks contractions" probably didn't have to say them when they were having one. So in order to make things easier for me & those around me when I'm actually having one of these "uterine workouts" while our baby is growing, I am going to nickname them "Hooeeys" for B-H's and "Hooahhs" for the big ones. If you've ever had one, you know it's much easier to say these words to explain what's going on rather than spit out 6 syllables of a word that most people don't understand anyways. Then you're stuck trying to explain what's going on while trying to breathe through it. (Yes, they are beginning in small doses...I am almost 5 months along.)
