being checked = increases BH?

[brittany12]

sorry for all the posts! I guess I'm just a paranoid first timer over analyzing everything!

I was checked today for infection, pubic bone separation, dilation and to see if she was head down/low.

there was no infection, the separation was fine, I was not dilated but she is head down and very low..

i think it was last week or week before i started getting more Braxton hicks and then they basically stopped or if they were coming they weren't anything i could feel enough to make me pay attention. but today after my appointment this morning I've been feeling them more. Does this always happen after being checked?

Completely normal! Increased BH and spotting after being checked is normal ��

Perfectly normal! It can even start contractions for some women.
