16 weeks too early for Braxton Hicks?

Sorry, I have no clue if I spelled that correctly. 

Re: 16 weeks too early for Braxton Hicks?

  • I think so, my doctor told me I could expect to feel those aroud 30 weeks...I would ask your doctor what you are feeling though.

  • Ive been feeling them since 14 weeks and my Drs dont seem concerned.  Ive read/heard that many people have them through most of the pregnancy but just dont recognize it.  I would talk to the Doc but as long as youre not having more than 4 an hour youre probably good to go.

  • That would be a call to your dr.
  • My doctor mentioned them when I went in at my 20 week appointment, and said that it wasn't uncommon to begin feeling them then, especially when you have a full bladder or are just finished emptying it.

    That is when I notice BHs, and also after I have the big O. :)

  • I have been feeling them for 2 weeks and my OB said it is normal.
  • mine started early in my last pregnancy and they started a few weeks ago in this one also. It seemed to happen more if i needed water or was drinking caffeine
  • I started feeling them at 16 weeks with my son.  At 12 weeks with this little girl.  It can be normal for a person to get them early.  If you are getting a lot fo them, drink a bunch of water, it does help.  If you get more tan 4-6/hour for more than 1 hour in a row, then call you OB and let them know.
