Hi Ladies
Did anyone else start getting BH quite early? I have been getting them for the past couple of weeks. (I am currently 17weeks). This is my 2nd pregnancy, and I remember getting them heaps last time - they drove me mad, I get them really strong, and they can be quite painful. I can't remember what point they started last time. And forgot to mention it when I was with my midwife. Can anyone tell me what stage they started to get them? Cheers ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I think I was about 23 weeks when I started feeling them, this is my first pregnancy. Not sure if you can start getting them earlier with subsequent preggies, maybe someone else knows. |

I started gettting them at only 14 weeks when I was pregnant with Emily. I got them quite often and quite strong too. -------------

I got them from about 25 weeks first time and about 16-18 weeks second time (can't remember exactly) -------------

I was about 15 weeks this time. Typically speaking, they start almost immediately but it takes a while for mums to feel them. With subsequent pregnancies, you know what to look out for and they are often picked up earlier. -------------  |

I felt them at 16 weeks last time, and this time it was a little later... about 18-19 weeks I think. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

On the plus side at least part of me is toned  -------------
