I'm only 5 weeks but I get them too and it's just your body moving around for the baby

You can actually get braxton hicks as early as 10 weeks and they actaully start around 6 weeks but most women just don't feel them until later on in pregnancy, with both pregnancies now ive started getting them around 13-14 weeks. Totally normal, just watch for spotting or bleeding which isn't normal!
