I started getting BH contractions at 17 weeks. They thought it was from a UTI so I was treated for that but they never stopped. All I kept hearing was drink more water, mind you I drink about a gallon a day, so that was annoying. I am now 39+5 and still getting them...just waiting for the pain to start over here. LOL.

I started getting them between 17-18 weeks and I'm 31 weeks tomorrow. My doctor said its not only completely normal but in some woman they actually start at 12 weeks and it's normal. Unless you have a high risk pregnancy I wouldn't get too worked up.

I'm 30 weeks and 5 days and I feel like I got kicked Inn the crotch and my back is throbbing  (lower) and before the Braxton hicks were higher up...now they are way lower. Do you guys feel pressure in your vag? it feel like his head is like IN the birth canal. Like it's slowly being pushed out, spreading? Ugh this pregnancy has been so hard on me! Picc line,pancreatitis,blood clot in right arm, 2nd picc line in left arm, blocked left kidney and baby is on kidney and tubes that go to bladder and it's so effing painful! I have to give myself fluids daily...I barf constantly still, I can't eat, I live off of ensure because of my pancreas issues food doesn't digest period..I still try to eat tho..but today is the worst these Braxton hicks have been...
