Braxton hicks?

Is it common to have more braxton hicks in a multiples pregnancy than in a singleton? I feel like I've been getting a lot of them in the last few days. I had a lot when I was pregnant with DD, but I don't think they started until I was closer to 25ish weeks. When did you start noticing them?

    I started getting them at 18 weeks-- only a couple of times, and when I had been at work all day, and then came home and was cleaning, etc.

    This is my first pregnancy, so I don't know if it's normal.  I wasn't really concerned since it only happened twice in an hour and stopped once I sat down and stopped cleaning!

    I don't think I had them at all with my DD but I think I might be having some now with this pregnancy. It's one of those things that I can't be certain that's what it is! It's usually in the afternoon/evening after working a full day.

    Mine started around 15-16 weeks.  Having been on this board for a while, this seems to be normal.

    Mine didn't start till late in the 2nd tri/early in the 3rd tri.  (Or maybe I just didn't feel them till then)

    I feel them all the time now...I swear I have at least 1-2 an hour...which probably isn't a lot but feels like a lot!

    Mine started at 16 weeks, and now I am on a terbutaline pump to control them since they may be causing cervical changes.  Mention them to your dr. so she can keep a check on your cervix.
