Braxton Hicks in first trimester?

LizLovesJason

It sounds crazy but I feel like I've started having occasional Braxton Hicks contractions over the last couple of days. I'm only 7 1/2 weeks, but this is my fourth pregnancy (last one was a m/c). I had a lot of BH much later on in my other pregnancies, so I know what it feels like. What I'm feeling now is not painful at all, just a tightening feeling in my abdomen when I've been particularly active (like just now when I was cleaning). Is it possible to feel BH this early?!

My friends OB thought she was crazy when she said she had them at 16 weeks.  I think it seems early, but I'm not an expert by any means.

Hmm, I just read online that BH contractions actually start in the first trimester (they've been seen on u/s this early) and occasionally women report feeling them....So maybe I'm just one of the weird ones!

I actually almost posted a question this afternoon about how early 2+ time moms were feeling BH, but then thought maybe I was just crazy.  I swear I felt it today too.
