Braxton hicks

[Missy]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone of you ladies have had braxton hicks early in your pg. Im 17 weeks tomorrow and have had some today. Not to worried but thought they happen later on???

Hi Missy
I started getting BH very early - some of us are just 'lucky' like that .

Hey Marcellus, hope you are well

Hey Missy

with the first pregnancy most women are not aware of the tightening of the uterine muscle (BH) until 20 plus weeks, and some women are not aware of them

with subsequent pregnancies you are a great deal more in tune with your body (which is also why baby movements are felt earlier) and the muscle tone of the abdomen is reduced following the 1st pregnancy. Both of these factors contribute to feeling BH earlier

BH are great as they oxygenate the uterus and your beautiful baby

I started feeling them at around 14 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy
