this is my 2nd pregnancy and I have started getting BH in the last week or so. Not painful or uncomfortable but very noticable especially when I am lying in bed at night. My DD wasn't prem though so it might be worth discussing with your ob or midwife. It probably isn't urgent though.
Thanks heaps for your replies, its good to know that it is quite normal to get BH earlier with each pregnancy. Spoke to the midwife and she said to just take things easy just in case. Put my mind at ease a bit even though they are so strong, cant remember them being like this with my DS
Really??? omg I didn't realise we could get BH this early?? Wow.... this is my 1st pregnancy so all NEW to me!
I've had pulling and stretching from my abdomen up to my ribs and that hurts a bit sometimes but i doubt thats it.... just everything growing.
I had none (that I knew of!) with DS
Had some in late preg with DD
This time around been having them since around 17 wks
Renstar - your whole tummy goes super tight for a while and can be uncomfortable to move - but shouldn't be painful until later in preg which is leading into prelabour etc.
Oh my god, I think I may have had this happen to me.
SamiH - on two occasions now over the last few days my tummy has gone really tight, it happened last night. It was just after dinner and I thought I must have just eaten too much.
It wasn't painful, it just felt really tight for a couple of minutes.
Soooo... definitely nothing to worry about then? This is my first baby, is it bad to be getting them so early?
SamiH - thanks for explaining it. I don't think i've had that yet.... however i've had tight pulling like i've pulled a muscle and then it goes away so maybe i have? i will make sure i pay closer attention from now on! hehe
