Notice the gaps in between your contractions to see if they vary in length. Braxton Hicks contractions will be inconsistent and will ebb and flow, while real labor contractions will steadily build.  For example, you may notice that you’re having pains every few minutes for half an hour, but then the pain stops for an hour. Alternatively, you may realize that the pain is happening at odd intervals, such as every minute for a few minutes, but then every five minutes for the next half hour. Most women describe Braxton Hicks contractions as uncomfortable but not that painful. Braxton Hicks contractions also feel like you’re experiencing a tightening in your abdomen. Real labor pains will radiate from your back, while Braxton Hicks contractions are mostly located in your lower abdomen. The discomfort or tightening of a Braxton Hicks contraction will begin in the top of the abdomen and move down into your lower abdomen. Use a timer, clock, or watch that shows seconds to find out how long your pain is lasting. Braxton Hicks contractions normally last for about 15-30 seconds.  If your pains are shorter, then they are unlikely to be real labor pains or Braxton Hicks contractions. Call your doctor if the pain persists. If your pains last longer, 30 to 70 seconds or longer as labor progresses, then you may be having labor contractions. If you can feel your baby moving around, then the discomfort is probably Braxton Hicks contractions. The movement of the baby can cause the discomfort, and you shouldn’t feel your baby during labor contractions. Shift to a more comfortable position, then rest for 15-30 minutes. If your pain stops, then it was likely Braxton Hicks contractions. Braxton Hicks can be caused by certain positions and can be alleviated by resting in a better position, changing positions, or walking. Real labor contractions, however, cannot be relieved by changing positions.

Summary: Check if they’re irregular. Consider if you’re feeling discomfort or tightening. Notice if they’re in your lower abdomen rather than your lower back. Time the contractions. Try to feel your baby’s movement. Change your position to see if they stop.

If you are making hemmed shorts, fold 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of the cut hem inside the jeans and pin it. If you are making cuffed shorts, fold 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of the cut the hem on the outside of the jeans. Repeat for the other leg. The cut hem should be touching the first mark you made. The shorts are now 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) longer than you want them to be. Using the cotton setting on your iron, press the hems flat. Flip the shorts over and iron the back side as well. Fold each hem or cuff up one more inch. You will be folding past the first mark you made. The mark should be on the bottom edge of your shorts, making them the length you wanted. Once again, if you are hemming the shorts, fold inside the jeans; if you are cuffing the shorts, fold outside the jeans. Once you are finished folding, press the hems or cuffs with an iron. Be sure to iron on both sides to get a nice, crisp edge. Before you sew the hem or secure the cuffs, put the shorts on. If the shorts are too long or too short, take them off, unroll the hem or cuffs, and iron them flat. Then, roll the hem or cuffs back again, but not as much as before. You can hand sew it or use a sewing machine. When choosing the thread, consider using a color that matches the color of the fabric, or the color of the original thread. Look for something that is heavy-duty, or made specifically for jeans.  If you are using a sewing machine, try to use a needle intended for sewing jeans. If you cannot find one, then use a universal needle in size 90/14.  If you do not own a sewing machine and don't know how to hand sew, you can use iron-on hem tape to hold the hem in place. Simply cut a piece of iron-on hem tape that is long enough to go around the hem of your shorts. Stick the hem tape inside the hem and iron it. If you have cuffed your shorts, you do not need to sew it. You can, however, secure the cuffs on the outside and inside seam with a drop of fabric glue or a few simple stitches. For an added feminine touch, you can add lace to your hemmed shorts. Pin the lace to the inside of each leg, so that part of the lace is sticking out from behind the bottom hem. Make sure that the lace goes all the way around each leg. Cut off the extra lace, but leave enough behind so that the two ends overlap by about ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters), Sew it in place using a sewing machine and pull the pins out. If you do not have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch the lace to the shorts instead.

Summary: Fold the cut hem inside/outside the jeans. Iron the hem. Fold the hems up again and iron. Try the shorts on. Sew the hem down. Consider adding a lace hem.


Cholinesterase inhibitors can help to improve the contraction and strength of your muscles. You need to take this medication several times a day, depending on the dosage suggested by your doctor. Never take more than the recommended dose. You may experience side effects like gastrointestinal issues, nausea, and excessive sweating and salivation while on this medication. This medication helps to support your immune system and improve your muscle control. Your doctor will likely recommend a low dose to start so your body can adjust to the medication and you do not become dependent on a high dose. You can usually take this medication every other day. Corticosteroids are not recommended for long-term use, as this can result in serious side effects like weight gain, diabetes, bone thinning, and a higher risk of contracting infections. Immunosuppressants will alter your immune system to help dull the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Your doctor may recommend that you take immunosuppressants for a limited amount of time once a day, as this medication can cause serious effects if used long-term. Some side effects of immunosuppressants can include nausea, vomiting, liver and kidney issues, gastrointestinal upset, and a higher risk of contracting infections. Some medications can worsen the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Give your doctor a list of any medications you are taking so that they can make adjustments to your medication regimen if necessary. Always tell healthcare providers about your diagnosis of myasthenia gravis so that they can safely prescribe medications for other conditions. Medications that may worsen myasthenia gravis include:  Beta blockers Medications containing quinine and related substances, such as quinidine gluconate, quinidine sulfate, and Qualaquin Phenytoin (Dilantin) Some types of anesthetics Certain antibiotics
Summary: Get a prescription for cholinesterase inhibitors. Talk to your doctor about taking corticosteroids. Get a prescription for immunosuppressants. Tell your doctor about any medications you are currently taking.
