Braxtion Hicks...

[fmt13]

I'm 35wks nd 2days and I still don't know if I'm having braxtion hicks. When did u ladies start having them? Can they even come this early?

[jessicaann21]

I don't feel when I have them so I'm not sure what its like but sometimes my stomachs really hard so I'm guessing that's it.

I started getting them at 22 weeks and it felt like a lot of pressure in my entire belly and the whole thing would tighten up n get hard

[fmt13]

Oh ok. I do feel like, not Sharp but tight pains in my lower stomach close to my hips. Could that be it?

They can start much earlier than 35 weeks, but not all women have them. Sometimes you can have them and not really notice. They usually just feel like a tightening, or your belly will feel more tense and hard. Don't worry too much if you aren't having them though.
