    Unhappy Braxton hicks at 19.5 wks

    Has anyone else been getting braxton hicks contractions this early in pregnancy? I'm really worried as i started getting them at 25 wks with my DS and i went into premature labour with him at 28 wks. They are not overly painful more like mild cramps but i have been getting them every day for the past week. I havent had any other signs of prem labour but wasnt sure if this was normal for a second pregnancy. I have an appointment with the obstetrician next week but not sure if i should see him earlier just in case.

    I'm 15 weeks pregnant with #3 and i'm already getting them. I got them around 20 weeks with #2. So for me that sounds normal but since you have a history of prem labour i would be asking your OB just to check on you for peace of mind if nothing else.

    HI,

    I think I may have had some BH on the weekend- I had to sit down to help work through the pain but I had been carrying some boxes of books earlier, so who knows?

    Funny, I don't want to take any drugs in labour so god knows how I'll cope

    I'm seeing my OB on Thursday, I'll check with her.
