Braxton Hicks already?

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my second child and I know it sounds crazy but it feels like I'm having braxton Hicks already. Can it really be braxton hicks already? Any one know what this means or has anyone had this same thing this early? Thanks

Cool thanks everyone. I will stop worrying about them. Kept thinking that since I stand on my feet all day maybe it was adding pressure or something.

I'm eight weeks and I've felt a couple already. Lol. I was only 10 weeks with my first. This is my third so Im quite familiar with them. Lol. There pretty much the same as cramps, just without the cramp. Just uterine contractions. My Dr says Im very perspective. Lol

they actually start to occur around 6 weeks but it verys for when moms feel them... usually anywhere from the 2nd to the 3rd trimester... and some dont ever notice them... ive been feeling them regularly since 16 weeks but felt the first at 15 weeks... Im not sure when they started with my first pregnancy but like the prev post said i dont know if i would have known what they were that early as i didnt figure it out till i was past my due date last time lol

I did, and actually felt them earlier then that. Bc you know what they feel like you notice them sooner with your second pregnancy.
