Contractions so early?

Question

Anyone else feeling contractions/Braxton hicks this early? I'm Only 18 weeks and getting them!

Answer

Yep. Sometimes I have to lay down and drink lots of water to get them to stop.

Answer

Yup ☹. This is going to be a long pregnancy.

Answer

What do they feel like? Sometimes my stomach feels very tight/heavy and it feels almost like cramps and it usually goes away after I sit down and relax. Could it be BH?

Answer

I did the other day, I think. My tummy tightened for a minute or so. It was very noticeable but not painful.

Answer

Yep! Rest and water helps!

Answer

Yep usually if I have to go to the bathroom.  I hate it.

Answer

I'm getting them but can't feel them. Last week at my 20 week US my doctor told me I was having one and showed me the uterus wall thickening and stuff so we knew I was having it, but I couldn't feel it. I'm grateful but scared I might not feel it when it's the real thing now!

Answer

Yep I'm 17wks and I get them a few times a day. It feels really tight in my lower abdomen. Not painful just pressure. I feel them more when I get up too quickly or have to go to the bathroom and I've held it too long.

Answer

I get them too. Maybe one or 2 a day. We've been getting them for awhile I believe but didn't feel them because the top of the uterus is just now getting to be almost level with our belly buttons, so it was small and didn't feel like much. That's just my take on it. I'm not sure how factual all I said is. It's just what I think.

Answer

I get them at least once a week since I was 16 weeks; each time lasts about 5 hours and are 6-7 minutes apart. Anything more then 6 hours or 5 minutes apart, I've been advised to go to labor and delivery. This is my 5th and I have a history of early dilation and preterm births... Im usually dilated to a 3 by 30 weeks, I'm now 20 weeks and get my cervix checked via ultrasound every 2 weeks.
