    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 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!

    I had some at 17 weeks but haven't had any yet. Was very very exciting, though!!

    I had them since about 12 weeks. Not too painful. Very obvious now though. I think they start really early but it just varies on when you become aware of them.
