How early did you get BH? and did anything "bring them on?"

[Jellyfish]

I never had them (or noticed them?).

I got them just after 20 weeks this time around - and my GP didn't believe me, told me it must be muscles stretching - uh, I think I know what they feel like by now!

Mine eased off at about 26 weeks (like Trish's, which is interesting - I thought I'd done something to make them stop! ) and are back in the last few weeks.

Certain movements can trigger them, and sex, other times they just happen.

With DS1 ...after 2 days of painless, regular 10 minute BH , they just merged seamlessly into labour ... so if that happens this time I will be on the alert!

I've been getting them for months now... Mostly they are just niggling and uncomfy... But lately (and sometimes before hand) they have been strong and painful... THings like working, walking, driving, eating certain foods and stress make them come on (kinda leaves me to do NOTHING) lol!

I started noticing them at 22 weeks. They got stronger and more frequent as my pg progressed. They were definitely worse at work (on my feet, running around alot), to the point where my Ob asked me to sit down and rest at work if I noticed they were getting 'too' strong. Finishing work at 32 weeks helped, and I never got to find out just how bad they would become because DS arrived at 35 weeks.
