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.
