Braxton Hicks?

Question

I am 15+4 and for the past week or so I have felt my uterus getting hard for periods of time. This is my first pregnancy. The tightness feeling can last for a few minutes at a time too, and it doesn't hurt at all. I thought that you weren't supposed to feel Braxton hicks until later in pregnancy. Is this normal? Or could it be something different than Braxton hicks?

Answer

I started having Braxton hicks at 13 weeks.  I read they actually can start as early as 6 weeks but most women just don't feel them.

Answer

I started getting those at 16wks or so. I went to the ER so they can monitor them. All was well and the doctor told me to start drinking a gallon on water a day because it helps prevent them and/or to keep the pain of them away, but that i really had nothing to worry about.

Answer

You have BH your entire pregnancy. Most women just don't feel them until later on, but it's very possible that you could feel them earlier!
