When did y'all start getting Braxton hicks contractions?

[Nellyprego1]

I started having them at 20 weeks. Maybe they would come about once a week at first now i am 35 + 4 days and sometimes they come everyday.

Yes, thats what ive been getting, i wonder if its the head grinding away down there? They can be very sharp and painful, but i don't necessarily get the tightenings with it.

[Lanny_Licorice]

Yea, I suppose you can put It that way since I had bad period like cramps. They're very sharp "stabbing" pains.

I forgot when I started getting them..lol... Bu right now im 32+5 days and in the nights I get like cramps but sometimes a lil more stronger that I can't sleep well.. I kindda have a feeling Im already open something. Which im a lil concern but haven't told my dctr to check me neither. I jst rather wait till I get them more stronger..

I started getting them at 28 weeks. Now 32 wks & more frequent.

Hey Lanny, when you say yours are getting painful, is it like a heavy period pain? I've been getting those for the past couple of days.

[Lanny_Licorice]

Yes, It's possible.

[Lanny_Licorice]

Hmmm.... I wanna say around 30 weeks, but you can get 'em as early as 20 weeks. They didn't hurt at first, juss felt like cramps and tightening, but now at 36 weeks, they've been gettin' pretty painful.

Is it possible to get them at 27 weeks?

[thirdtimemum]

I'm not 100% sure of what they felt like, but i think mine started after about 32 weeks. They are not painful, just like a tight band across my lower belly that i can feel.
