When did your Braxton Hicks start and is this one?

Hey girls,

Ever get that feeling where it feels like the baby decided to sit on the front part of your stomach for a little while?  I've been feeling that all along, but in the last 24 hours it seems like I'll feel that same sensation but for a more defined period of time, without additional baby movement.  I feel like my stomach got a little more tight, but nothing painful or even uncomfortable.  Do you think this is BH?  I'm in my 34th week...normal at this time?

When did you start feeling BH?

Thanks!

    BHs feel like your stomach tightening and if you feel it with your hand, it will feel rock hard all over.  Mine started at 22 weeks.

    I had my first one last week and actually had my strongest one yesterday at 30 weeks. It felt like something grabbed my whole stomach and squeezed it. It didn't hurt but caught me off guard.

    Mine started around 24 weeks (maybe sooner-I just didn't know what it was until I was sent to L&D because I fell and was having them and they showed up on the monitor). Back then it just fell like my stomach would get hard in one spot-like she was pushing her butt out. Now, my whole stomach gets tight. I probably have 10-15 a day.
