  You can get them as early as 6 weeks

  I started having them last week (14 weeks). For me it feels like a tightening but I notice it most around my diaphragm. They never last long though and I don't get them every day.

  I've noticed them this week too. I had them a lot with my first pregnancy (end of 2nd tri and all of 3rd tri), I just googled it today to see if it was normal to start so early. I read that STM(+) can sometimes feel them earlier because they recognize the feeling where a FTM may not realize it.

  I had them starting at like 22 weeks last time. I would get them just walking down the street, or when I was resting if I wasn't hydrated enough. It was pretty frequent. I really hope they don't come any earlier this time!!!

  Yes I felt them the other day and definetly last night! Seems early this time around for me but I'm also bigger earlier this time as well... Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

  I had them starting around 23 weeks last time, and I started getting them last night! (15 weeks!) I have an "irritable uterus," last time they got so frequent (20+ an hour sometimes) that I ended up on bedrest after multiple trips to l+d...hoping that doesn't happen again this time!

  I have been having them as well (16 weeks), as a matter of fact, having one now lol. My dr wasn't super concerned but did say no caffeine, keep hydrated and tested me for a positive uti. So check yourselves mamas! Be safe and take care of yourselves and baby!

  I had them alot with my son, so much that I landed in L&D with actual contractions. I have felt a few this pregnancy, especially at night when I had a busy day. It freaks me out considering my last pregnancy. I have just been trying to drink alot and not over due, which is hard with a toddler.
