Is it possible to have these early ?? I know they usually start for most people around 28wks... but I am pretty sure I'm having them now !!  And I know it's not gas, that's a different feeling altogether. It's not painful, just bl**dy uncomfortable !! I was due to do some outbound calls for work but had to beg off because I couldn't focus  I know it's nothing to worry about but arrrrrrrrrrrgh... why me and why now ??------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

If they aren't Braxton Hicks, it might be your bowels? I had vague stomach cramping for the first few months which I thought were BH, but it turned out I was just a bit blocked up. I increased my fruit/vege/water intake and it went away by itself. -------------

Nope, bowels are nice and regular  Although I'm not really sure you needed to know that LOL  Since I'm eating us out of house and home at the moment, I try and cram in as much fruit and natural fibre as possible, and am drinking almost 2L of water a day.
My midwife was away, but I spoke to her backup midwife about it, and she said it was entirely possible that's what they were by how I described them. They lasted just shy of an hour, and apart from feeling a bit tired, nothing else is out of place. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater
