When did you start getting Braxton Hicks?

Question

My pregnancy book says I can start having them as soon as 26 weeks. Which is 2 weeks away for me.. I didn't think they could start that soon? When did you start having them and what did it feel like? This is my first pregnancy👶

Answer

They started earlier for me at 20 weeks with my last pregnancy. I was also having painful contractions for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. I thought my baby girl would come early, but she didn't.

Answer

I started having them at 13 weeks.
I read they actually start as early as 6 weeks but most women don't feel them.

Answer

I don't remember when they started with my 1st (before 30 weeks for sure). I'm 31 weeks with my second and nothing till now.

Answer

From about maybe 16-18 weeks

Answer

I had one at 28 wks and omg it woke me up, felt like a Charlie horse across my stomach, but went away when I turned on my left

Answer

I started getting them around 18 weeks when I was working in a restaurant and would be on my feet and running around during dinner rushes, or whenever I'd be doing too much in a day. Now I'm 30 weeks and still get them, but am no longer working so don't get them as often as I did. I basically only get them now when I over do it with housework. Occasionally I'll get them for no real reason.
