braxton hicks

So im pretty sure ive been having braxton hicks these past few days. I feel my lower stomach where the baby is get tight. It doesnt hurt at all i can just feel it. I did some research and it says your uterus starts braxton hicks at 5 weeks you just dont usually feel it for a while. Any thoughts?

Im surprised. with my first pregnancy I didn't get Braxton hicks until 39 weeks. I didn't know you could get them this early!!
