BH at 16 weeks

[minkie]

right when i hit 16 weeks, one morning i woke up to lots of frequent contractions, braxton hick i guess. (non painful but definite contractions) i actually went to my OB for it, they did scan and everything looked good. She asked what I did the day before and I told her we were moving, and then went to Disneyland that night. She said OMG you can't be doing all that!! So apparently I did too much the day before and it was causing the contractions the following morning. I took it easy the rest of the day and the following morning I was fine again. Now in the evenings i will get them when i lay down to relax in bed a bit but not bad. Anyone else have this happen to them so early? I'm still only 16 weeks. I remember that happening much later in my other pregnancies!!

Not to sure hun sorry if it helps I would say mine started at around 20 weeks so maybe you should ask the question again.
I had braxton like pains around 16 weeks onwards but now im having them properly it turns out it must have been something else

Hey! YES me!!
I have been getting a lot of BH for a good few weeks now. A lot earlier & more than I did when pregnant with my other babies.

I've done quite a bit today (moving stuff around & had a very stressful time work wise), we popped out in the car this evening and I started getting loads of BH's - every few minutes they came, I started to worry thinking I was actually going into early labour. Since we've been home they've settled right down though.

I've heard that the more pregnancies you have the sooner they start?

Hope they are not too uncomfortable for you

Apparently every pregnant women experiance these throughout the whole of the pregnancy, they either just don't feel them or don't associate the tightenings as anything, Thats what my midwife told me anyway, I've been feeling tightenings for ages but then again i'm on baby number 6 so i should know the feeling

My BH started around the end of my 27th week. I have heard of them coming early though so it is not unheard of. If the pros aren't worried I wouldn't be. Everyones pregnancy is different.
