Flamable Question: BH at 17 weeks?

Is 17 weeks too early to have BH? I'm going to also call the nurse on this one, but OMG. My uterus is killing me.

Re: Flamable Question: BH at 17 weeks?

  • I've been really crampy and sore the past 3 days.  I'm guessing RLP but I'm also not have contraction like symptoms.

  • nope, not too early at all. It's basically exercise for your uterus. It's a muscle and is warming up for the big event! It probably shouldn't hurt that badly though, is it uncomfortable or is it really painful?

  • I had a close friend experience BH at 18, so I don't think it's flammable.

  • Yes and No. Hehehe... Im being serious tho. 

    It could be RLP that is so bad that feels like BH.  Tightening in the upper part of the abdomen is usually the difference between the two.  There is also a stage where your baby moves out of the pelvic area in the stomach area and that causes "pains" but I dont think you're there yet - its usually around 20 weeks.

    Call the doc/nurse is the best thing to do.

  • I had BH from about 14 weeks on with DS.  It didn't hurt though, my uterus would just get really hard for a minute a few times a day.

    It's just reeeeeeaaaaallllly uncomfortable. It's like my uterus is saying, "Excuse me ma'am. This will remind you that I'm still here." It's a pulsing tightening (if that makes any sense).

  • BH start for EVERYONE at 6-8 weeks. Most do not feel them until around 20 weeks or not until 3rd Tri, SOME never feel them at all.

    Babycenter has really good info on this.

    Not flameable at all.

    That sounds about right.  It always made me feel like I had to pee!

    It could be RLP or it could be BH. It if lasts all day, it's likely RLP.

  • Not too early and I've already been having them (which is way earlier than with DD but I'm also not as good about water intake this time -- oops).  If it gets really bad, talk to your dr.  Mine always said to pop a tylenol.

  • I've been feeling them once in a while for the last week or two
  • you actually start getting BH at like 6 weeks but your uterus is too small to really feel them until much later, so it is possible!
