When did you start getting Braxton-Hicks?

Question

I’m 14 weeks and get this odd tightening feeling in my abdomen and back. It’s kind of painful too but not so bad that I can’t handle it. I’ve had it for the last two nights. Is it too early for Braxton-Hicks contractions? Sometimes my cramping feels more intense if I haven’t gotten enough water. I just chugged two bottle of water and I’m laying on my left side but I still feel a slight tight feeling. I’m not bleeding but I’m sort of worried I might start. What do you guys think?

Answer

I began getting them at 16 weeks in my last pregnancy. It sounds like that’s what you’re having although if they don’t stop or they continue getting worse id call your doctor or midwife. Mine used to go away with a warm bath and rest.

I started having them at 18 weeks. Happens more when I’m laying down and on my back . My OB told me to make sure I’m drinking plenty of water and switch positions and call in if I have 5+ within an hour . Just bring it up to your doc

I think I got my first one at like 14 weeks. I started getting them more frequently at 20 weeks, usually when I’m active or not properly hydrated.
