Now at 32 weeks I'm having them probably 6-10 per day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1514615 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 20:18:56 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1514615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a day shy of 16 weeks and have felt them. I had them early on with Chloe, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1514582 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 19:51:46 +0000 rattles 1514582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt them starting that early. They weren't doing anything productive though - I wasn't dilated at all when my water broke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1514335 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:31:17 +0000 swedishfish 1514335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd feel them whenever I walked my 2 miles a day and other random times. They did help me dilate to 2.5-3 cm before my induction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1514326 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:14:06 +0000 winniebee 1514326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starting at 26 or 27 weeks started feeling them hourly. They never went away with rest or water and by 30 weeks they were real contractions. I'm an anomaly though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512395 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:59:30 +0000 spaniellove 1512395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could remember how early I felt them but I know it was at least that early! As soon as I'd wake up in the morning my belly would be contorted and rock hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512353 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:49:29 +0000 Pepper 1512353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alllll the time. From very early on. I'd have 6+ a day at the very least! My belly would just clench up like a fist, then release. No pain, just mildly uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512257 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:28:53 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1512257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does anyone else feel like they need to pee afterwards? maybe it's the tightness pushing on my bladder.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512244 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:25:40 +0000 HLK208 1512244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: yep, it lasts for 20-30 seconds, nothing super painful but they are uncomfortable. Maybe they're just more frequent since this is my third pregnancy? I'm not sure... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512239 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:24:08 +0000 Dandelion 1512239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 38 weeks and have had them since before 20 weeks. No end in sight. No dilation or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512229 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:21:48 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1512229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt something similar yesterday at like 3am and was super freaked out, but dr said it was either some movement or a BH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512220 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:19:02 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1512220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started to feel them at 19 weeks? I don't get them nearly as often as you do though. Maybe 2 or 3 a day. My uterus just gets rock hard for a little while, maybe 20-30 seconds? and then releases. No pain or anything. Does this sound like what you've been getting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512212 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:15:43 +0000 Kimberlybee 1512212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had them at all but I miss those baby kicks inside the belly! It's such a sweet miracle to feel that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-felt-braxton-hicks-early#post-1512198 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:13:14 +0000 HLK208 1512198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 23 weeks and I feel them daily. About twice an hour even while laying down. I know it means absolutely nothing since they started at 20 weeks with my second pregnancy and lasted another 20 weeks until I had to be induced.</p> <p>So just curious, how often do/did you feel them? How early did you feel them? Maybe I'm just feeling stretching/tightening that's not really BH contractions. </p>
