braxton hicks contractions at 27 wks....worried

[tarrah87]

is it normal for me to be getting these braxton hicks contractions already at 27 wks this has been happening for about a week i was told sounded normal but my step mother seems to disagree, so now i'm worred, any input would be great! thanks ladies.

I started getting them last week so around 21w 2d. I was under alot of stress and overworked and on my feet alot, so I think that was the main reason why. I read that from the 6th month onwards, Braxton-Hicks can then start to occur. I start with month 6 tomorrow :-)

You can definitely get them at 27 weeks.... even earlier if this is your second pregnancy.... just keep an eye on them.... if your getting more than 6 and hour its probably a good idea to call the doc and see what they say! But as long as there not too painful and there is no bleeding associated you should be just fine!

I started getting them around 17 weeks. Totaly normal, just make sure you tell the dr at your next appointment.

my doctor said you can get them earlier.  just keep an eye out on them but it is completely normal.

dont worry ive been having them since 31 weeks im now 37 wks

I can remember getting them as early as 21 weeks...off and on and then didn't get them again until I was closer to 30 weeks. As long as they don't come in regular patterns, or you have spotting or anything that not's normal for you, you should be just fine! =)

I agree...I noticed them at about 26w...They have come and gone...haven't had them in awhile though...Totally normal!

I wouldn't worry I have been getting them since 14 wks. Just let your dr know. They usually pick up at your stage of pg and get worse unitl delivery. Congrats and good luck,
