How early did you start feeling braxton hicks

How early did you feel bh and if you have already had a baby and started getting them early in your pregnancy did you end up delivering early? This is number 3 for me but is a big gap between my other 2 and I don't recall feeling so much pressure in my pelvis this early on nor do I recall bh happening this early.  I'm 24+4 but have had pressure since 18-20wks and bh for over a Fortnight. Just wondering if I may go early with this one because of my symptoms or if there is any co-relation

I felt them starting at about 26weeks and they got stronger thruout the pregnancy. I had my baby girl (baby#2) at 38 weeks she was already 7lbs 11Oz. My first child is 13years old and my baby girl is 3weeks today

I hope she comes on time at least because I have my parents flying over from new zealand and her due date is now the 20th nov and they leave on the 30th - I'm paranoid ill go over lol was hoping all this discomfort maybe a sign of her coming early but obviously wishful thinking lol

I have been feeling BH since 12 weeks or so and get them pretty regularly now. And certain days I motice more pressure downlow than others. I dont remember feeling like this with my other 4 kids. But I dont know if it's because im 4 years older since my last, just a different pregnancy, or if maybe this one will come earlier. The other 4 were all right around my due date.Sounds like our DDs are pretty close, so I guess we can share then how it turns out! Lol

I felt them at 14 weeks with this one ( number 4) and about 17 with baby number 3.  Im 38 weeks 2 days right now, and had my 3rd a day before she was due.  Hardly ecer felt contractions with my other 2.  I dont think there is much of a corelation, at least not for me.
