    I will be 16 weeks on Sunday and have had some light pains and wondered about BH but thought surely it couldn't be this early! After your post I'm starting to think it could be. I wonder if the more kids you have the more likely they are to start early?

    Mine have just started now... 27 weeks.

    Just a tightening then a release. Sometimes I get three or four in a row that last a few seconds, sometimes just one. Very weird feeling!

    My sister never had them through her pregnancy.

    I had two episodes when I was around 16-17 weeks, then nothing since then. Strange.

    I got them from about 20 weeks onwards.

    I have had mine now since about 14 weeks, it scared the hell outta me to begin with, but the Obs told me that because I am carrying twins they will start a lot earlier. I am having them everyday and they are quite strong and last for about 45 minutes in total

    Didn't get them with DS1 or DS2 so I wouldn't know what to look for this time around!
