Contractions early in pregnancy???

Ok this is my third pregnancy so I know what it feels like to have contractions.. A couple hours ago I started hurting in my stomach. It was like my stomach was balling up. It hurt so bad to the point I wanted to cry. The first thing my husband asked me was if I was having contractions but I didn't think you could have them or bh this early in pregnancy. I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. I know I have been so extremely stressed out lately and I don't know if that could be causing this. Please any ideas or suggestions..

It was like multiple ones and only lasted for about 30 minutes. But it stopped and I haven't had it since. And it hurt bad. It wasn't gas pains I know because I've been having those too and although they suck I can handle them. But this hurt really bad. It really felt like real labor contractions but I didn't think I could have them this early. I have a doctor appt Tuesday and I will definitely mention it to him along with the other problems I've been having.

Yes you can have them at 17 weeks but they shouldn't hurt. Make sure you're staying hydrated and try not to stress! If you're concerned and feel like you're having too many an a hour you should call your doctor/midwife and see what they say!
