Braxton Hicks @20 weeks?

This is my second pregnancy and I don't remember having them so early during my first. I was thinking it was round ligament pain but I'm having second thoughts that they are braxton hicks from the tightness feeling and the release. I did some reading and suppose they can come as early as 20 weeks and earlier if this is no your first pregnancy. I'm not necessarily concerned just surprised getting them so early. I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow. Anyone else having the same?

When I put my hand on my uterus it was very hard. At first I was thinking the baby was rolling too but I doubt it now by the way it felt and it was not just one part.

I thought I had a couple here and there but when I relaxed and thought about it, it kind of felt more like the baby spazzing and trying to stretch out as straight as it could. But I think it is possible since some women do go into labor naturally really early.
