    Braxton Hicks... When did yours start?

    Hello wonderful peoples.

    Just wondering how early the BH's started for others. I have been having them since 16 weeks. I got them alot with my other two kids, but I never remember them starting this early on. I think it was more like 28-30 weeks before.

    They usually start when I am walking around the supermarket or going for a walk. And they go away when I stop and take a breather. But... it just seems too early for them to start yet????

    nope they can start at 16 weeks
    for me they started with my twins around 20 weeks and this time they started around 24 weeks. Totally normal, but man they can take your breath! Hang in there

    Hi Myson, I think I started getting them around 18-20 weeks (Im 28 weeks now) but not really any pain, just the tight then release feeling. Like you its mostly when I walk etc.
    Take care

    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.
