How many weeks has anyone experienced Braxton hicks contractions up until you gave birth in your previous pregnancies?

Question

Hi I am not ready to deliver until May 22, 2022. I'm afraid to deliver early. I'm only 32 weeks. Can you guys tell me how many weeks you've experienced Braxton hicks contractions up until you gave birth from past pregnancy/ies? I totally understand that most of you are still pregnant and haven't gave birth yet. I'm just nervous because I don't want to deliver way too early.. I have been experiencing them quite frequently 😕 I'm kinda scrared..

Answer

I lot of people I know have Braxton hicks really strong from 20 weeks till they deliver at full term. I have never had Braxton hicks in any of my pregnancies. You can tell it’s BH if it’s just a tightening of a your stomach without pain, just discomfort. Also if you drink water and lay down they’ll usually stop. If they’re contractions they’ll be painful and won’t go away with rest and hydration. If it is just BH there’s nothing to worry about

Answer

With my second I had Braxton hick starting at 20 weeks all the way up to when I went into labor at 38 weeks. 
With this one right now my Braxton hicks didn’t start until my third trimester.

2nd baby: about 20 weeks then I had prodromal labor the last 4 weeks (painful contractions for hours, every single day, that go away)
3rd, and currently pregnant: 14 weeks, currently 37 weeks

Answer

With my first, I never felt BH. She was one day late. 
With my second, they started around 25 weeks. She was 4 days late. 
With my third, they started around 14 weeks. She was 8 days early. 
With my fourth they started around 14 weeks again. 
The more babies you have, the more likely you are to notice them and notice them earlier, and for them to be painful. Your uterus is experienced and you know what things feel like.
