I've been dealing with this for the past couple days. I noticed when I took naps they slow down.

Its very possible with a second pregnancy but id check with your doc. I started getting them at 20 weeks and this is my second baby.

Its possible but usually (not always though) they start happening sometime after 20 weeks. This is my second pregnancy as well and around 15 or 16 weeks i had some round ligament pain (where your uterus is stretching as your baby grows) that felt kinda like braxton hicks (tightening feelings in my belly and just uncomfortable and sometimes crampy). Its possible that what it is, as that's what my doctor told me mine was. If your concerned though, always check with your doctor. :)
