when did braxton hicks start for you?

Sandy09579

I feel like I've been getting a couple a day, but don't remember them this early on w/ Anthony.

I'm 23 weeks- anyone remember starting this early?  They aren't painful or uncomfortable or anything- my stomach just gets hard as a rock.

I got them a little before 20 weeks and it turned out to be a UTI

Good morning! I just wanted to say hi.

 I never had any BH, so I can't help.

I had them around 22 weeks with Emma.  I'm 20 weeks now and haven't gotten them yet.  My doctor said it was normal to have them that early, just as long as they weren't frequent, consistent or painful.

Hi Sandy-

?I'm glad you posted about this! Mine started at 29 weeks with Aiden..and they were sometimes minutes apart. I almost ignored them, but went to the docs anyways (after my coworkers told me to).. good thing I did. ?Contractions were coming on.. and they gave me tributeline (Spelling?) to stop them. ?I was put on bedrest at 31 weeks ?just in case.?

Probably not the same with what you are experiencing.. but the moral of this story (for me anyways) is to be in tuned with your body.. and call the doc anytime!?

That is exactly when they started for me.

Mine started around week 20 and kept up thru the 30's...sucked.  Not painful, but at times uncomfortable.

I remember it was early on in the second trimester. Before 20 weeks, but I'm not sure exactly when. Every time I got one I'd have to pee, so they were very noticeable

I never got them either. 

 Pregnancy is weird.

I have been getting what I think are BH for the last few weeks. Mine are like you described- stomach tightens/hardens, but not painful.  I only get them occassionally though.

I've been getting them daily (but not a lot/day) since about 23-24 weeks.
