I had some starting then but it's my third pregnancy and I was over tired. I got a little worried bc I was also losing some of the mucus plug. I donno, if a nap and water isn't taking care of it it might be worth a call. I've mentioned mine each visit and they've just said 'meh'.

@IRunForFun: They want you to call, trust me! I hope it's nothing.

@IRunForFun: My OB's general rule is if I was having them more often than every 10 minutes I had to go in. I bet they tell you something similar. It's been really hot so you may be really dehydrated but not know it!

I've had them since like 14/15 weeks. (I'll be 36 tomorrow). I used to wake up with a rock hard uterus in the middle of the night. My early ones were not aggravated by dehydration but some later (and more frequent) ones were. You're smart to call and be sure, but I think it's more common than people realize. In the past two weeks I've had an increase in them, even when I'm clearly hydrated. Just how my body is getting ready I think.

@IRunForFun: It is my first! I don't know why I've had them so frequently but between 20-34 weeks I only had them when I didn't drink enough water.

Try some gatorade! I had an irritable uterus and when I had too many BH from the heat, that helped way more than water.

@IRunForFun: I actually have IBS too, no idea if they are related. In general my body (and general attitude) tends to default to irritable so it shouldn't have been too surprising. Get some rest and chug water!

@IRunForFun: I've been feeling some too! I'm 19 weeks today. I just assumed I'm not drinking enough water or something and it's hot... I don't remember having this last time, but I feel like I'm more aware of what things are this time around.

@IRunForFun: I'll def bring this up to my OB when I see her next week and I'll let you know what she says. I'm pretty sure I need to drink more; I THINK I drink a lot but it's probably still not enough!

I had them starting at 16 weeks my first time and even earlier the second time. Like of of first trimester...

@IRunForFun: Oh no! Hope the MW has some answers for you! I had cramps that were similar at around 20 weeks. Turned out I was really dehydrated. I hope that it's a simple explanation for you as well.
