Yes - I started getting them around 20 weeks with my 2nd, didn't feel them with my first. Dr said it's normal, some women feel them and some don't. He also said your more likely to feel like with 2nd it subsequent babies

Yes you can, my doctor always says not to worry unless they become stronger or start to progress. Your uterus actually starts contacting as early as 8 weeks to start the muscle toning process.

I've been getting them since 13 weeks and my doctor isn't concerned (2nd baby, I think I got them around 25 weeks or so with my first).

Dehydration brings them on for me, drink a glass of water and sit down and they should go away.

Congrats! Your body is getting ready!!
