Braxtin hicks or not?

I'm 17 weeks and the last couple of days my stomach suddenly goes hard then after about a minute goes normal again. It doesn't hurt just can be uncomfortable. Is this on at this early stage.

That sounds like braxton hicks. I had them a lot with my second from quite early.

Thanks Bev. Didn't realise they can happen so early on. X

I was surprised too. I didn't have any the entire way through with my first, but my second was so different!

That's like me, nothing with my first 3 till way near the end, this time so different x

I had them a lot earlier with my second baby as well!
