Braxton hicks?

Dominique • Myles John 3/8/16. Micah Robert 6/29/17 baby girl due 10/8/20
Did anyone get painful Braxton hicks early on in their pregnancy
I was having serve stomach pain and was causing a little back pain as well. Felt like painful Braxton hicks (had with my 1rst) im only 16 weeks though, can you get them this early? 
Drank water, got an ice pack, went to the bathroom and walked around and the pain is starting to go away.
