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.

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.
