21w+4 with Braxton Hicks

I have had 3 episodes of pretty strong Braxton Hicks in the last 24 hours.  I am worried that it is to early for them...or maybe I just am more in tune with what I'm feeling because it is my second baby?

Has anyone else had them this early? I'm wondering if I should call the Dr or just wait till my regular checkup

Thats ok,If they do get strong then call your midwife,try and keep hydrated as that helps ease them and i find if i move about when i get them it helps in a odd way!

Thanks baby bump 3, that's what I was thinking...if they get worse or stronger I'll call the doctor. Right now I only get them every 2 or 3 hours or so.

I have an appt on Friday, so I can ask then too.

Things are probably fine but why not give your Dr a call and see what he/she says. If anything it'll help put your mind at ease.
