You should see your OBGYN.  They can monitor the contractions to determine if they are BH or the real deal.  They can intervene and try to keep you from going into preterm labor, if that's what's going on.  I did have BH with my son for a month before I had him.  But see your OBGYN and be descriptive and tell him/her everything that is going on, so they know what to do to check things out.

I'm 22 weeks with my second baby and I've been getting them too. My doctor said it's very common to get them earlier with second baby due to body already been a stretched and prepped for birth so don't worry it's normal!

Mine were a tightening of the uterus, all the way through the vagina... The first time I had 4 in a row equally spaced.  They were not painful persay, but uncomfortable enough to where I had to sit down.

Mine started at 19+2... My midwife said it was fine. I'm a first time mom... She said some women are just more in tune with their bodies than others.
