    It does sound a little early for BH but then again I think some ladies on here have had them quite early... and it could well be gas pains too
    If you're a bit blocked up I recoomend a fibre supplement, Benefibre works for me, I am currently taking iron tablets & if it wasn't for the Benefibre I would never go

    I started getting BH's from about 16 weeks. Quite early but not unusual according to my OB. But you did say you're constipated so I would say that is more to blame as I get the same problem when I'm blocked up! My belly instantly deflates once the blockage has cleared!

    Try Metamucil or if you're really bad, Agarol is safe during pregnancy too and generally works within a few hours.

    I posted a thread the other day for the same thing! I went to my Dr yesterday and she said it was my bowels and told me to get coloxyl which is a stool softner. Hope you can use your bowels soon!!!!

    I started to get BH this time around 17 weeks. I still get them rather consistantly now... some I can feel, others I can see more than feel.
