Anyone have contractions yet..BH or the real thing?

I read that BH can start in the first trimester! I started getting them about aug/sept but they werent enough to make me really pay attention to them. by november they got stronger. a few weeks ago they where really painful but it turns out they where just contractions or bh to get the baby to drop. now that i am on maternity leave and am not running around a restaurant all day they have basically stopped. now i'm just waiting for the real thing. but sine i'm a first timmer sometimes i fear my constipation cramps are the real thing cause those buggers hurt and give chills sometimes lol

I have been having BH for weeks now. I also had them with my daughter.  They are a nuisance at times. But just means we are getting closer. :)

I have been having BH for about a month I am 33 weeks..the other day I might have had a real one..it was painful and a mix between a menstral cramp and constipation cramp but ratiated to below my rib cage. but it was only one and no others followed.  the BH can get uncomfortable as well somedays I will have them throughout other I might notcie 2.  But my cervix is high and closed.  granted with my little guy that is what they told me around 34-35 weeks and my water broke at 35.5 weeks...  when I got to the hospital I was still not dilated and no real change occured it took a few hours and he came later that day.

I have been having BH alot. Somedays it gets pretty bad and almost scarey, other days they are just light. My cervix is still thick and closed tight and I have no signs of labor, so I know they are just BH. I'm 31 weeks and they actualy just started last week.

Not yet.  I never experienced them with my first pregnancy, either.  But, then again, I'm just 32 weeks - there's still time!!

I've heard that all women get them.....but some are just not aware of them.  Maybe I fall into that category....?

Ive started BH. Im 33 weeks. But It seems to happen after intercourse, so Im not 100% percent sure if it is BH. My back hurts a lot and my uterus tightens every 5 minutes. It goes away when I fall asleep. Its quite uncomfortable.. Happened twice this weekend. I have my doctors appointment later today so I should get more info then. What about you?
