I didn't feel them till 7 months. Your stomach basically just gets hard and last for a few. Shouldn't hurt but it can be uncomfortable sometimes.

It's just the muscle in your uterus contracting, doctors assume it is just your uterus practicing for the bug day. They are not painful, you just feel your uterus get hard for 20 seconds to 1 minute. If you have more then 6 an hour you should let your doctor know.

They start as early as 6 weeks, but most woman can not feel them well into their pregnancy. With my first I didn't feel them till maybe 25 weeks, with this baby they started at 14 weeks. Some woman never experience them, everyone is different.
