Braxton hicks... how early?

Question

This is my second pregnancy. I never had any with my first. This time I’m only 18.5 weeks and i feel my uterus contract randomly (no pain). Has only happened once a day or so the last couple days. Could it be BH so early?

Answer

That sounds like Braxton Hicks - they can definitely happen this early. It’s my second pregnancy as well and I’ve been getting them since 14 weeks. I had tons of them during my first pregnancy as well. I was at the doctor yesterday (I’m 20w4d) and happened to have one just as he was about to touch my belly - he confirmed that’s what was happening.

Answer

Yep, normal, esp on your second pregnancy. Started getting them a week or two ago, usually get 3-4/day

Answer

I’ve been getting braxton hicks since 14 weeks this pregnancy. With my first I didn’t until around 19-20 weeks. Nothing to be worried about just stay well hydrated.
