Braxton Hicks?

Question

Is it too soon to be feeling them? 
I’ve been having tightness in my abdomen since this morning. 
The cramping sensation comes and goes it’s about twice every hour. Kinda feels like light period cramps 😩
No bleeding, no decrease in baby movements. Should I still call my doc?? 
I’m 26+3 days

Answer

Definitely not too soon to be feeling them.. I know when I’m dehydrated I have Braxton Hicks more often so try to drink some water and see if that helps. If not, I’d give your doctor a call just to see what he/she says.

Answer

Nope not too early - I’ve been getting them since 17 weeks. It’s worth letting your doctor know so they are aware. As long as they aren’t painful, you don’t have a change in discharge or bleeding, and they don’t follow a pattern increasing with intensity or getting closer together then they aren’t doing anything besides making us uncomfortable!

Answer

If it was me I could call just for peace of mind. 
But, I’m 26 weeks today and have been getting Braxton Hicks on and off for about 5 weeks now. I asked my OB and she said to really push fluids. Like drink as much water as you can handle without getting sick. 
This is my second baby so she said it’s not that uncommon to happen. 
Good luck! 
I think as long as they aren’t timeable, and you aren’t bleeding or cramping really bad you are probably okay!
