    Braxton Hicks at 25 weeks?

    Just wondering if it is normal to have BH contractions at 25 weeks? My bump went very hard tonight for a minute or so and it wasn't painful but it was a bit uncomfortable, I'm guessing it was BH but I didn't experience any at all in my last pregnancy till I was about 37 weeks.

    Yes it is normal, they tend to start earlier in subsequent pregnancies.
    My last 3 pregnancies they stated they started at about 15 weeks (I have 7 children)
    If they become painful and/or regular ring your hospital but if they are just tightenings then it is perfectly normal.

    Completely normal darl I have an irritable uterus so I get them pretty much right from the word go, but they generally start any time from 18wks
