20+ weeks for me and I get them  everyday all day. No matter what I do it seems to make them start up. Initially I thought the tightness I was feeling was the baby balling up in a knot but my Dr says no it was BH because my WHOLE stomach  tightens at a time.  I can see the baby's  body or but when it happens.  Thanks to them  I can't exercise or walk like I planned; (

I never felt them with my first pregnancy. I'm 34 weeks and have been feeling them this week, mine are super painful and I usually have to stop what I'm doing. I ended up having a warm shower last time I got them as they wouldn't stop :/

I dont feel them either. The only tightening I get is when the baby moves close to the surface or balls up.

It does vary for every woman and pregnancy...i believe a lot of women start experiencing them in the 3rd trimester (although some dont experience them at all and some wayyy earlier). With my last two pregnancies, and now this one, its been around 32 weeks.

There isnt a set date/time. Some people never feel them & I believe they say some can feel as early as 6 weeks.
