Too early for Braxton Hicks??

[jollymum]

Morning all!

Sorry to post another BH thread...

I'm currenly 19.2 weeks and have been experiencing what I can only describe as a tightening feeling that occurs only in part of my bump (usually at the bottom) - this is accompanied by that part of my bump going hard. I've noticed this over the past few days and its been happened only a few times and always when I'm in bed in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning.

I was wondering if this could be BH?? I've never been pg before so have no idea what they feel like. Its not painful at all, it just feels like my bump is being squeezed and its very transient, only lasting a few seconds. It just seems too early for me to be feeling these but would just like some reasurrance that this is normal!

Thankyou! XxXx

you can have contractions as soon as the uterus starts growing so yes

i had this about 2weeks ago, thought something was wrong to start with as never had them in my other 2 pregnancys, or not that i felt anyway, only happened for a couple of days on and off but when it went hard it had me hold on to the worktop, or whatever was closest,
