I am as far as you and I felt like I was having Braxton Hicks. This is my 3rd pregnancy and never had them this early. I asked my OB about it and she told me it's not Braxton Hicks it's just your uterus stretching out. I really felt the tightening and pain and all that..But thats what she told me. She's a great DR and I really trust her opinion. So maybe you'd want to ask yours the next time you  go in.

They say you feel them tons earlier with your second pregnancy.... This is my second and I think I started feeling them around  the 18 week mark too..... I would assume its normal.... just as long as they stop and are not consistant
