Braxton Hicks anyone?

Ari
I'm 26W 6D and am having a rough day with hip and back pain. I have had 3 episodes of stomach cramping and I'm pretty sure what I am experiencing are Braxton Hicks. I didn't get them with my first born until after 36W. I read that getting them now is normal (so long as they are sporadic) but is there anyone else out there experiencing them this early too?
