Dumb Question about BH

How early did you get Braxton Hicks with baby #2? I noticed that in the last few days, my lower belly tightens like BH, especially when I stand or walk for longer periods of time.

I know, it's a dumb question, but is 23 weeks too early for this?

    I've been getting them for the past 2 to 3 weeks...  of course my situation is different, but my dr said they're nothing to worry about as long as they're not excessive.

    I remember getting mine very early in pregnancy [obviously just my first pregnancy...].  I can't remember exact time but it was in the early 20's.  I was told to drink more water, lay down and relax.  I can't remember the count, but if it went over a certain number in a set time period I was told to call - I got close a few times but never went over the "limit."

    Good luck! Maybe you are noticing them because you know what they feel like this time around?

    Yup, I got them early too, and a lot of it was b/c I wasnt drinking enough water.

     I feel like I'm drinking a ton of water, but I'm sure it's not enough. I'll drink more and see if that helps! Thanks!

    I had them pretty consistently with J from about 17 weeks. Also from not drinking enough and chasing L around. My midwife always said it was no biggie as long a they weren't painful and never more than 6 an hour.

    The first time I got them at 23 weeks, this time they started at 18! I get them when I'm being too active (walking up a hill is what set them off this time) and just try to drink water and take it easy to make them go away.

    Yeah I got them earlier the second time around too. My doctor said most woman feel everything earlier and stronger the second pregnancy. I think he told me the same thing, no more than 6 in an hour. I would always drink more and put my feet up if I could, just to make sure they would go away.
