Braxton hicks - is this too early?

[jellyfish]

Hi everyone!

Just found this place, and love it already . Anyway, I'm 22 weeks, and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced Braxton Hicks at this stage? They started at around 18 weeks, and between then and now, I've felt maybe 4 of them.

Over this weekend though, I felt one on Friday, one on Saturday, and at least 4 on Sunday. Should I be worried about this? They're not painful or anything like that, and not 'regular', so I don't know if I'm just being paranoid .

Thanks for your help!

when i was pregnant the first time i got BH from around 18-20 weeks then Adele was born prem at 29 weeks but that wasnt because i was having BH.

When pregnant with Colby i started getting them from around 20-24 weeks andshe wasnt born till her due date.

Dont worry about them but if they do come in a regular patters time them just to see how they go but if they are really painfull then call your midwife but im sure it is just normal what your are experiencing

take care and welcome to the forum

do they feel like twitches like when your eye twitches?
