I am expecting my 7th child, I have had Braxton Hicks since around 16 weeks!! And actually a woman's uterus begins having small contractions from about 6 weeks but obviously those are not felt. Mine are strong, often and painful at times, but they are never regular or progress. It's completely common!!
I started having them at 26 weeks. Mine hurt but not bad. I get them only when I work or stand up too fast. Sometimes I havem 4 or 5 times an hour at 30 weeks.
My 3rd pregnancy now and I've had them since 16 weeks! Oh how i wish they would go away!! =)
Ok thanks everyone and congrats
Yes you can. I had them as early as 22 weeks. They weren't painful, just an awkward tightening in my abdomen. 39 weeks now & they have definitely shifted to painful!
Yes you can .. With my first son I had went too the hospital at least 2 times a month my hole pregnancy for them ... I got them cause I didn't drink enough water ... This pregnancy I've been drinking at least 2-3 bottles of water not includeding how many cups of ice I eat and I haven't had any so far *knock on wood*
I had my first at 20 weeks! My.doctor reassured me that it.was normal just my body practicing for the real thing.
Ok I had my first one.last night wasn't that bad
Yes I started having them at 27 weeks. As long as they let up then you're fine.
