  Mine started at 14weeks and became consistent at 19weeks.  I would call your dr to let them know, they may want to monitor you.  It is always better to be safe than sorry.

  Good luck

  Mine really started up around 22/23 weeks. I was in constant contact with the peri's because of the mono case tho. So I'd call your doc just to let them know. You need to figure out what's normal for your body. After a few weeks when I was inpatient at the hospital, they didn't freak out so much when I'd have 4/5 an hour...because that's what my body seemed to like to do!

  FYI - I never went into PTL and had BH's all the time...but you have to find out if that's normal for you. (Jax went down on one of my monitorings)
  

  good luck

  i have been having them since around 16 weeks. My doc told me to call if I have more than 4 an hour. The nurse told me that when they start I should empty my bladder, re-hydrate and rest.

  I had them very frequently (like 3 to 4 an hour) starting about 18 weeks.  My dr. said if I had more than 4 per hour I should call.  Ended up in L&D 3 times b/c of them, but they were always able to stop them.
