I'm 24weeks Tuesday and I gettl them quite frequently, since about 20weeks. This is my first baby so I had no idea what it was the first time it happened (right after my husband and I had sex) I thought it was our daughter curling up in a ball. My doctor told me it was definitely braxton hicks. I get them somedays 5 or 6 times a day, and the wake me up at night if I happen to roll over on my back. I have a titled uterus and so when they happen it looks like I swallowed a tennis ball on the side of belly. Its kinda creepy looking. I've been told its completely normal and from the research I've done some eben suggest people that start braxton Hicks before 35 weeks and have them regularly actually have shorter and easier labors because your body is geared up for it for months :) if you feel something isn't right then just mention it to your doctor :)

I'm 25 weeks and notice them a couple times a day but the other night I had one that squeezed so tight it woke me up. Then she went nuts when it passed and wiggled like crazy. This is the third I'm sure I will have more as I get closer
