fire cupping and braxton hicks

In two days Sonya will be 39 weeks. She's still working and on her feet but we both know a change is near. He's big and now is the time to come outside. We also squared away where my mom, grandma, aunt and uncle will be staying once we give them the word that "it's on!". I go through periods of being anxious when I think about it, but I'm trying to focus on everything happening the way it should. Yesterday morning Sonya said her stomach felt real tight and that that was a sporadic labor pain (Braxton Hicks).

I went to my second session at an acupuncturist on Monday. Krishna (my acupuncturist) started out the session with fire cupping. It didn't hurt, and actually felt good, then went into sticking me with needles. I felt uncomfortable, although not too much, with a couple of needles in me. One in my upper back and one in my right foot. When she would turn the needles, I could feel "the pull" that she would ask me about often. The fire cupping seemed to straighten me out a bit and in addition I felt a bit loopy on the train ride home. My mind couldn't focus all that much, but I saw it as a plus since I'm tired of thinking all the time.
