A source close to Keyshia Cole reached out to Sandrarose.com exclusively today to inform us that “Keyshia is fine.” The source said Keyshia is not in a hospital and she did not have a baby last night.
Rampant rumors that Keyshia went into labor last night spread across the Internet, and by this morning, the rumor mongers claimed Keyshia had delivered a baby boy.
“Not true,” said the source who indicated that Keyshia may have experienced Braxton Hicks contractions, which are normal during the last few weeks of pregnancy.
For a first time mom like Keyshia, Braxton Hicks contractions can feel like she’s going into labor.
Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening of the uterine walls for one or two hours as the uterus prepares to give birth. The contractions can also be caused by the growing baby impinging on a full bladder. So urinating can sometimes ease the symptoms.
Adequate hydration (drinking plenty of water) can relieve the symptoms. Also, breathing exercises and lying on the left side can ease the pain of Braxton hicks contractions.
Active movement (such as exercising) will relieve Braxton Hicks contractions whereas it won’t with real labor contractions.
