Im an 16 wks and 3 days now and have been having a lot of braxton hix lately.. Just wondered if anyone on here have started having these so earily.. I dont remeber having them with my daughter until i was in my last trimaster??

They say you feel them tons earlier with your second pregnancy.... This is my second and I think I started feeling them around  the 18 week mark too..... I would assume its normal.... just as long as they stop and are not consistant

I am as far as you and I felt like I was having Braxton Hicks. This is my 3rd pregnancy and never had them this early. I asked my OB about it and she told me it's not Braxton Hicks it's just your uterus stretching out. I really felt the tightening and pain and all that..But thats what she told me. She's a great DR and I really trust her opinion. So maybe you'd want to ask yours the next time you  go in.

Braxton Hicks can begin as early as 6 weeks pregnant.
