braxton hicks

I'm 21w 5d, 3rd pregnancy. I can't remember when braxton hicks normally start. But I'm definitely getting tightening every once in a while. Anyone else experience them this early? My baby is sitting really low too, I'm hoping this is not all indications of an earlier baby.

That makes me feel better. I couldn't believe they are already starting, but everything is happening sooner the third time around.

My doctor told me that Braxton hicks can start after 20 weeks... Bcus I started feeling them earlier this time. My first pregnancy I didn't get them that early, I'm 37 weeks now... N feeling more of them. No worries... I'm sure everything will be fine:-)
