Atrial Contractions

Karla asked:


I know what Braxton Hicks contractions are, but I’m wondering when do they start to get painful? I am 35 weeks along, and curious about when they usually start to give you pains, instead of just the tightening feeling?

I am of the opinion that contractions are fine in dialogue or if the writer intends to be more whimsical in tone.

However, at least one writer claims that contractions can be used in any fiction writing and that using whole words instead of contractions is formal and archaic.

So, what do you think? When are contractions ok and how does it affect the tone?
I’m more concerned about whether the writer should use contractions outside of dialogue, for instance when describing a scene.
