I've just been reading that technically they start happening in the first trimester, around 6 weeks, but are too small to notice.

I still am not sure if I ever felt them lol.

I have been told that people that are on their second pregnancy can feel them a lot earlier just like the baby kicking??]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 19:26:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=632263&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#632263 <![CDATA[Braxton Hicks - too early ?? : They really start that early?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=632179&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#632179 Author: Gardengirl

They really start that early? My tummy went tight 2 nights ago, it felt odd but it's only reading this that now makes me wonder. Could that be what I was experiencing does anyone think?

Oh good. You guys make me feel better! Maybe I did get them this early with Jake. My sister seems to think she had them at 23 weeks with her bub and I'm sure she felt them after I did (we were pg at the same time). OK, will calm down now.

Spicy chick - they feel like your bump pulling tight (to me).]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:58:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631978&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631978 <![CDATA[Braxton Hicks - too early ?? : They start well before 20 weeks,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631958&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631958 Author: busymum

I got them early on with Caden, i asked my MW why my tummy always really tight and she said that is BH contractions, some women dont even know they are having them, they just get a real tight tummy, like me ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:29:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631948&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631948 <![CDATA[Braxton Hicks - too early ?? : mine with Tom started about a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631881&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631881 Author: peanut butter

mine with Tom started about a week before my 20 week scan.  With James I noticed them around 14weeks!

Nikki, mine started at 20 weeks, I would get them all throughout the day especially while working.. TraceyA is right, your body is just practising, its a good thing

I find they are a great way of prastising breathing techniques (my own, self taught lol) for labour... just deep breathing... and they also serve to remind me that yes there's action happening in there - as if the huge bump isn't clue enough!

Also, remember that every pregnancy is different.. although you could be at risk of pre-term labour, I'm sure you are equally if not more likely to carry to term.. Try to relax (as much as you can, I know it can be hard),
and good luck.. although I'm sure you won't need it ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:36:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631840&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631840 <![CDATA[Braxton Hicks - too early ?? : Nikki, one of my books says that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631818&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631818 Author: TraceyA

Nikki, one of my books says that you can start having them really early on so I wouldn't worry too much at this stage. Remember that they are just your body practicing and not related to the real thing. Hope your LMC can put your mind at rest. ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:10:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631818&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631818 <![CDATA[Braxton Hicks - too early ?? : Hi guys, I&#039;ve been having...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631811&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631811 Author: Nikki

Hi guys,

I've been having braxton hicks since last thurs (23 weeks) and I'm not sure if this is really early or not? I had them "early" with Jake but I can't remember when that was ... and got lots just before going into labour at 32 weeks (hence my concern if they are coming early this time!?!?! I didn't have Jake at 32 weeks, but did spend 5 days in hosp on drugs to stop the labour, then 2 months on bedrest .... so Im at an increased risk of pre-term labour this pregnancy).

Am I worrying about nothing? Is it just cos this is my second pregnancy ... or could I have had them this early last time too ... ?

I'm seeing my GP (LMC) tomorrow so will talk to her ... but I just hoped you ladies could put my mind at ease .... ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 10:56:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25085&PID=631811&title=braxton-hicks-too-early#631811
