Braxton Hicks

I'm sure this is a repeat, but I've got a patient waiting so no time to search :

Is it too early to start having Braxton hicks? I think I may have had one or two while sleeping this morning. I woke up with a tight sort of cramps feeling and when I put my hand on my belly it was hard. Being a FTM I have no idea what these feel like, it's no big deal either way I just wouldn't expect them to start so early.

    Not too early!  Mine started a bit on the early side (16/17 weeks) - but now is about the correct time to be getting them according to my mayo clinic book.

    So no worries!  I find it's a very definitive way to see how big my uterus is getting, because it makes it really easy to feel the outer edges of it!

    Not at all. They actually start around 8 weeks but everyone is different in terms of when they feel them, or if they feel them at all. Did you have to pee? Having a full bladder will cause them. I started feeling them at 25 weeks with my first, 17 weeks with my second, and 18 weeks with this one.

    Not at all. I have started getting them this week, mainly in the morning when I first wake up.

    Related questions: for a while I was getting really awful cramps when I went to the bathroom first thing in the morning. Could this have been Braxton Hicks? It only happened a couple of times and then went away so I didn't look farther into it.
