Braxton hicks... When did yours start?

Question

So I'm 25 weeks pregnant on Sunday and for the last couple days I have been having period/poo like cramps.  My belly tightened and I had no idea what they we're so I just kept assuming that I was fighting off a bug.  At last I asked over social media and my friend called me saying they sound like braxton Hicks and hers were the same thing.  Comments and experiences would be great to hear :) thanks!

Answer

Mine started around 23 weeks. I never had them with my previous two babies so it scared the crap out of me and I still panic for a second when the first one starts 😂 they're not painful more like uncomfortable and they happen 2/3 times a day usually...they only last a minute or two though. I look at it as my body agreeing that we don't want an epidural this time lol it's getting me used to the labor feeling and ready to do this one last time 👌🏼😊

Answer

Mine started around 13 weeks this time. This is my third baby, but I don't remember exactly when they started with my first two. They're normal at this stage, but if they get painful, you bleed, they're consistently timed and growing closer, etc etc call your Dr or go in to the hospital to get checked out. :)

Answer

Mines started very early this pregnancy.. Around 9 weeks..

Answer

Mine started at 23wks!

Answer

Mine started at 14 weeks. My stomach will tighten all over, but they don't hurt and don't last long. 
If yours are painful or frequent I'd talk to your doc

Answer

I've had them since about about 17 weeks. 27 weeks today. I mostly get them at work.  I do freight so the up and down really play a factor for me. And mine hurt. But I think that's more the position of the baby? Not sure. I never had or noticed at least BH with my other pregnancies.
