At the beginning of July my AST and ALT were normal, and they have been normal all my life. In mid-August my AST was 80 and ALT was 146. Docs thought that was a lab error, so I had it rechecked a month later. Both levels were even higher. I've had it checked weekly since then and they are higher each week.
Regular contractions may mean that your uterine muscle is tightening (Braxton Hicks contractions) or that you are in labor. It may be hard to tell the difference between Braxton Hicks contractions and true labor. If there is any doubt, call your doctor.
