When did you start getting B-H contrax?

Tryingtogetpregnant · December 2009

I've read that they can start as early as your 1st tri, but they usually start around 28 weeks. I have noticed that I've had a few in the last couple days (I am almost 22 wks).

Just wondering what others experienced......I have seen many girls post about different time frames, so I thought I'd put it all in one post!

So, if you're a mom or pregnant, when did your BH contrax begin???

Last time they started about 17 weeks. That is where I am now, and I haven't gotten any yet (thankfully)! I had a ton of them, had to go to be monitored twice due to having more than 6 in an hour. I am happy they haven't started yet the second time around Smile

They started around 18 weeks and were continuous and incredibly frequent up until I delivered 3 days past my due date.

Mine just feels a bit like a pressure band around my stomach (below my belly button). They aren't really painful for me - just pressure. They only last a minute or so, and they are completely irregular in how often they come. I just started getting them yesterday, but I didn't really realize what they were until tonight!

Early in the 20w range - 23/24 maybe? They kinda felt like a sharp runners stitch in my belly. I stopped noticing them for awhile and now they are constant - my whole belly gets hard and tight.

They started at 17 weeks for me. I think that is early, but I had them all along until the very end and made a trip into L&D at 32 weeks, because I was having more than 4 an hour. Thankfully they did not cause any changes and they told me I may have an irritable uterus.

I had them all-the-time with DD! UGH!!

They started at 16 weeks and it never failed, EVERY time I rolled over in bed I got one.

Then never came to anything, but they are sooooooo annoying.

around 20 weeks

I think I started noticing random ones around the time you are now. By the end of the 2nd tri, I was having them a lot. They never turned into anything, but were just annoying.
