I started this time around 20 weeks its ur uterus working out and toning up for labor. It ***** but it's normal if they are regular get consistently closer together & more intense that is a sign of labor but sporadic its not. Helps if u drink water n lay on ur left side if u can

I'm 34 weeks and started having mine around 22 weeks! It's very normal, sometimes they can be very uncomfortable

Braxton hicks are not early contractions. Very very different from pre term / early labor. Totally normal, lots of ppl get them. But do not confuse them with real contractions this early lol
