Is it too early to develop Braxton Hicks?

Question

I am 20 weeks and notice I am starting to get Braxton hicks. My stomach completly hardens and is slightly uncomfortable for a few minutes then slowly goes back down . Is this normal for 20 weeks?

Answer

I have them when I got to bed at night. It is especially uncomfortable if I have been on my feet all day and don't drink enough water. It also feels like baby is balling up in the front.

This is my third so I know what to expect and don't panic. I just ride it out and run my belly like I would run baby's back if she was tensed up.

Answer

Yep, normal. I had them this early with my first and at 14 weeks with this pregnancy (twins). :)

Answer

Mine too but it's the baby balling up

Answer

I have something similar but it's when baby moves to my front. And then she'll shift around again. It started about 17w for me and is usually right where my belly button is and down.

Answer

I've been having them since 15 weeks

Answer

I have them with this pregnancy and my last at 20 weeks!
