22 weeks. I didn't know what they felt like because this is all new to me still. I had went to the hospital yesterday because of bad cramping like menstrual cramps and bad back pain and started spotting. I was a little dehydrated and thats what caused mine but the spotting was normal. I freak out about alot but I'd rather be safe than sorry :)

I'm 9 weeks and this is my third baby and I already feel them. They start at about 6 weeks tho most women don't actually notice them. U might have even felt them without even noticing it was b. Hicks. Its barely noticeable when Ur still small but some women feel them early. Especially when u have had babies before. Similar to feeling Ur baby move. U know what to expect. And notice it earlier. :)

I started noticing them at around the 6 month (24 weeks).They were never painful untill the end of the 9th month. I am 40 weeks now and I am geting them more often and they last alot longer. According to my doctor a woman gets them from the very begining of her pregnancy but just does not notice them untill later on. Enjoy your pregnancy :)
