Anyone experiencing mild contractions?

I have been experiencing some mild contractions for a few weeks. Last night was the worst and didn't sleep well. I had them with both of my children and both were born early. Just wondering if any of you ladies have been feeling anything..? I know they say some are normal. Have my dr's appt Friday (w/ my u/s) so I will be discussing this with the dr. Also I seem to get them more when I have a full bladder.

I have had some braxton hicks as well, a full bladder triggers it as well as (and sorry if this is tmi) after an orgasm. So you are not alone.

Ya I'm sure that's what they are but when I had my last son (13 yrs ago) I went into pre-term labor at 5 mts so that concerns me...No pain just tightness too. And when I have to pee and I get one then I REALLY have to go!! LOL!!

Are you speaking of braxton hicks?  I have noticed them early with this pregnancy.  Probably didn't notice them with my first child at first because I didn't even know how they felt until I had one at the doctor's office and she told me!  LOL  I feel tightness every so often with this one, no pain though.  What about you?
