Braxton Hicks?

Question

Is it too early for Braxton Hicks? 
I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and woke up at 5am to cramps. Legit feels like my period. The cramps are from my belly button down and keep coming in cycles. It’s been 3 hrs now and it just feels awful.   
Could it truly be Braxton Hicks this early in my pregnancy?

Answer

Yes you can be experiencing Braxton hicks now. With my first I didn’t have them until 30 weeks but with this pregnancy I was having them at 18 weeks. My OB said it was normal as long as they aren’t regular. Around 25 weeks I had them all morning for about 4 hours straight and they were slightly painful. Fortunately I happened to have an appointment that day so I mentioned it, they checked me out, I was very dehydrated but not in actual labor. If you’re concerned it’s always best to check with your OB.

Answer

I'd call your OB... Braxton Hicks shouldn't be painful or regular. They may want to ensure you aren't in preterm labor

Answer

I’ve been having Braxton hicks since like 15/16 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ But they aren’t so much crampy as they just make my stomach get really hard, and they’re very sporadic

Answer

I was told you can get them as early has 16 weeks. I had the same feeling on Saturday and Sunday. I’m 31 weeks. I was having actual contractions and went to labor and delivery and it ended up being I was dehydrated. Im good now.
