Braxton Hicks - how early??

[l_maclean]

anyone had these - and how far on?

I envisaged this being a tri 3 thing - although one website did say can be early as 6 weeks

I had some real pain this morning when I first got up - although i wasnt unduly worried if that makes sense. Just been to the loo (tmi - sorry) - and kinda a bit of pain again - but not as sore as this morning.

Just wondering how you know when its BH and when to worry??

firstly, Braxton hicks can happen all through your pregnancy its just down to how in tune you are with your body as to when you feel them I got mine around 22-23 weeks

And secondly, BH should not hurt!! So maybe you are having stretching pains but defo BH shouldnt be hurting.

Hope that helps x

I think I get them sort of like a tighening of the tummy and it goes all hard

Thanks - i did read some info that they can be painful. I didnt feel like my tummy was hard. It was kinda like the trapped wind feeling but not the same if that makes sense.

I started getting them at 19 weeks, they gradually got more regular and stronger as my pregnancy went on

I get them whenever am walk around and they make my tummy go tight and sometimes they feel uncomfortable ESP if I am out of breath as well.

I started getting them about a month ago. They arent painful... just tight and a bit uncomfortable
I get them when Ive been walking or if I stand up too quickly
