Wow...Braxton Hicks already??

cooker71 · January 2009

I swear my belly is tightening up every now and then tonight....very weird. Better drink some more water I guess.

When did you ladies get Braxton Hicks with Baby No. 2?? Earlier than with No. 1 or no???

Yup, I got those mofos at 20 weeks. Annoying! I don't remember getting them w/Ian until way later.

with dd I noticed them as early as 22-23wks... I was at a concert.

with ds, omg, they started at 18 or 19wk.. and they got painful at times... I knew I overdid it in a day b/c I'd end up with BAD bh, in the tub, with a big bottle of water ... chugging away. ugh. nasty.

Definitely earlier, more frequent and more uncomfortable

I hardly remember having any at all with #1.

Baby4OT · January 2009

I had them early with both pregnancies. With my first I think they started around 16-17w (I also think I was super attuned to everything going on down there because I had major bleeding and timeable contractions at 15w so I was all freaked out and very focused on every little feeling after that).

With this pg I started feeling BH at 15w. I have them all the time now.

I *thought* that I had them with #1, but then after they came at 20weeks with #2, I realized I hadn't. OB said it was totally normal.

Drink lots of water, and keep your feet up. Also, lie on your left side.

I started feeling them around 22 weeks with #2. I didn't feel them with #1 till probably 30 weeks.

WOW! your 26 weeks already....

CubbyMama · January 2009

I don't remember ever getting them with DD, but this time around I'm getting them a lot lately...probably 7 or 8 times a day. My ob/gyn said it's normal for them to start as early as 18w if it's not your first baby. There have been several BH posts on here today alone, so it sounds like we're all in the same boat!

niecy · January 2009

with #1 I didn't get them until the very end. This time, they started at around 20 weeks. OB said it's totally normal the 2nd time around but if you have more than 4-6 in an hour to call

Around 20 wks. They're getting super frequent now at 30 wks. and starting to hurt sometimes too. I can already predict it...I'm destined for bedrest AGAIN!

AngelaSue · January 2009

I definitely got them a lot earlier this time, maybe around 28-30 weeks. And now I'm getting them constantly and they are starting to really hurt!
