Anyone having braxton hicks already??

AngelEyes06

For the past 3 or 4 days I've been having braxton hicks contractions almost every night when I lay down and also when I walk a lot during the day. I remember this happening with my first pg but I thought it was much later. Anyone else having them this early on??

I've had them for a while now. The Dr. says it is normal to notice them earlier on in your 2nd pregnancy. He told me stay hydrated and rest as much as I can!

I have somewhere around 5 or 6 a day, and have had them since around 19 weeks. My doctor said it's fine as long as they stay painless....

This is my first pregnancy and I'm right at the end of my 2nd trimester. So far, I don't think I've had any Braxton Hicks, but the other night after having sex, something painful was going on. I think it was false contractions because the pain came in sort of waves and they were centered in my lower abdomen / pelvic region. They lasted about two hours and seemed irregular though I wasn't timing anything. But they were painful and everyone says Braxton Hicks shouldn't be painful. So I don't know. I'm seeing my doctor in one week. The baby's still kicking away so she's fine.

Mine have been painful too when I get them at night. I just called my doctors office and left a message for the nurse. I'd rather just ask them and make sure there is nothing to worry about...

I started getting BH contractions at 18 weeks. About 4 per day. Now I've been forcing myself to drink more water and they've slowed down to 1 or 2 a day... my dr wasnt concerned as long as I don't get more than 4 per hour, which i haven't even gotten close.

I started getting them a couple days ago.  It scared me at first, but they aren't painful and it's about 2 an hour.  I was thinking of calling my OB's office just to make sure it's okay.  It made me realize that I really don't have as much time left in this pregnancy as I thought I did.  Eeek!

Me! Last night I was freaking out but called the advice nurse, she told me to drink plenty of fluids and get rest.  Went away afterwards and monkey started moving around again!!
