I got them like the last month of my pregnancy!!

Im just 19 weeks!? Weird!

I had them at 19 weeks jill. Although at the time I didn't know what they were and I didn't have them very often, I had them. Now I get the real things! lmao o fun fun! Lol

What are braxton hicks?

I read somewhere that they could start as early as 18-20 weeks.

Yeah i'v been having them sence around 20 wks. Maybe longer.

Braxton hicks are contractions but they are painless ones before labor time...Just preparing ur uterus for the big day!!..I get them occ. Too! But not too often

Well im going to let my body know that there will be no labor ahead just a c-section so it can stop the braxton hicks now!

Jill I am 21 weeks and I been gettin em for about 2 weeks now . Not alot. . Ive had em like 3 times now, once today~ I was gonna ask about this too! I hope its normal to get em so early! If people dont know what they feel like, for me at least, I can feel my lower belly/uterus area and it tightens up a lot and feels harder and tight and almost like cramping feeling comes with it sometimes.

Lol! When I read this post earlier I was gonna say ive never had em before but just about 20 mins ago, I started gettin em and when I got up to walk downstairs, they went away! I'm 20 and a half weeks and this is my first time ever feelin em. Im so scared to sit down now! Lol!

I feel ya! I am scared now. . I have only felt em 3 times. .But today I felt em twice! Is that bad? It was only like 30 seconds each and hours apart. .But im beginning to get really worried and I am calling my doc on monday.

No need to call your doctor about it. They are completely normal.
