Braxton Hicks 20 weeks

I'm only 20 weeks along and last night I was having so quite a bit of "semi contractions" I'm guessing Braxton Hicks. I have 1 child so I know the feeling of real labor and contractions but wow anyone else experiencing this at an early stage?

Yes! I am 20 weeks too and felt them once already. First baby so I had to ask my best friend who's a labour and delivery nurse what the heck it was.

Based on reading i have done, they start pretty early, its just a uterine wall contraction which happens when you sneeze etc, i noticed it happens when I am exercising too
