Definitely a good signal for me to chill out and relax for a while. </p> <p>Yes, I went into labor at 39 weeks, 1 day. </p> <p>Yes, I guess so now that I think of it- the last few weeks, just taking the dog for his daily walk would make them kick in more. What really got worse for me though was migraines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-97170 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:42:53 +0000 tequiero21 97170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i started getting them early too, like 20 weeks or so. didn't realize what they were though. i'm now 37 weeks and show no signs of labor. with twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-97055 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:21:26 +0000 MsMini 97055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them a lot between 16-22 weeks, and then I have barely gotten any since then (now 33 weeks). It is weird, and I keep waiting for them to come back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-97037 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:13:56 +0000 skibobrown 97037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I can tell you so far is that they've been getting more intense as the weeks go by, but not really more frequent. (I've been experiencing then on average 1-3 times per hour for weeks now.) At 37+3 I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, so it looks like they are at least doing a little work to prepare me for labor.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-97025 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:09:18 +0000 His Barista 97025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with one or two a day...like my whole stomach was clenching or it would feel like cramps. 2 days before u went into labor I could time them semi-consistently for a few hours before they would taper off. I went into labor naturally and had lo exactly one week early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-97019 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:07:19 +0000 mom2b2agirl 97019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 31 weeks and have been getting them fr a coupe weeks now. Dr says not to worry, and that they usually start early but most dont notice them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-96996 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:57:10 +0000 chopsuey 96996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think they started between week 20-25. My memory is foggy. I know they started early though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-96986 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:53:04 +0000 winniebee 96986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: When did you start getting them? I can't tell if they are getting more frequent or intense yet. Sometimes frequent, sometimes not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-96983 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:52:10 +0000 chopsuey 96983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor 2 days past my due date.<br /> They definitely got more intense and were coming pretty frequently as I progressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-the-lucky-ones-who-got-bh-contractions-early#post-96973 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:47:41 +0000 winniebee 96973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Twenty questions)</p> <p>Did you go into labor before 40 weeks?</p> <p>Did they get more frequent/intense in later weeks?</p> <p>I've been having them for about 4 weeks (am 30 weeks now). I get them every day, sometimes every hour, sometimes multiple times an hour. My midwife said not to read anything into them, really, but I can't help but wonder! </p>
