Is anyone experiencing Braxton hicks already? Especially if you are a STM? I don't remember having them wih such frequency or intensity last time. Not quite sure if I should call the dr or not. Thanks for my input

    Yes, my doctor said it was fine. They started at 18 weeks with my second and in my 15th week with this one.

    I have been having them for about 2 weeks now but I had no idea it was BH until yesterday when someone described them. Lol- FTM :)

    How do you know if their Braxton Hicks?  I've been having cramping every night-a my down under my belly button gets tight; and very painful cramps.  I wonder if these are BH?

    BH shouldn't hurt.

    :( Yes, unfortunately I have been getting them. And a lot earlier than I did with DS. Which I am not happy about because they are what caused my water to break 3 weeks early last time. :( I'm pretty mad they are starting already.

    Yes, I never really experienced them with the other two but I have been for about a week. I think most of it is because I have not been sleeping or resting enough. Ive got to put my feet up.

    I started last week with these- never had them with my first. It is totally uncomfortable

    I dont remember exactly when they started with DS, but I am pretty sure it was after like 30 weeks.. this time I had my first one around 15 weeks! BLAH! I am just concentrating on drinking more water and that is about all I can do. I have found that if I am overly active that I get them more frequently. I think its my body's way of letting me know I am over-doing it.

    I think I have had them a couple times?  This morning was the first time I really thought about it though, so it's funny to see this post.  

    I just started to really be able to feel the baby move this week, but this was more like I could feel my whole uterus kind of tighten up and shrink slightly for just a second or two, then relax.  Didn't hurt at all, just felt really strange.  Made me nervous for a minute, but then I felt okay remembering that there was no pain at all.
