Ever wonder where the term "Braxton Hicks contractions" came from?
In 1872, an English gynecologist named John Braxton Hicks "discovered" them. (No doubt women noticed them at an earlier date.)
Thanks to a disambiguation link in Wikipedia, I also learned that there's an album named Braxton Hicks by a band called Jebediah.

Does this mean Tina is having them already?? Leave it to a man to take credit for them! (Sorry)
She's been having them for a while, and each time we would ask, who was this Braxton Hicks guy? (Naturally, we assumed it was a guy, although we thought it might be two guys — Dr. Braxton and Mr. Hicks!)
