Braxton Hicks?

I think I felt what seems like braxton hicks two separate times today. It was just like a pressure/pulling on the side of the uterus. Anyone else experience this already? It seems early.

I have. I did not feel them until 18 weeks with DD or maybe I didn't realize what they were. I just get a tight feeling very low in my abdomen.

Totally normal. They actually start around 6 weeks. You just don't feel them at first!

Thanks! That makes me feel better. Exactly, it's a tightness. That's the word I was looking for, lol.

I have no idea what all these weird feelings are lately. I thought it was RLP, and then last night I thought I felt movement, but I'm pretty sure I'm too early.

i felt movement at 15 weeks, it is not all the time though.

I think I've had one or two so far. With DD, I had my first at 12 weeks, and then not until 35ish weeks. As PP said, they start very early, so it's possible that that's what you felt!
