I honestly don't remember. But I didn't have real contractions until 39 weeks when I went into labor.

I didn't not have labor contractions until about an hour or two after my water broke. With baby2, I started feeling BH contractions around 26 weeks (I'm currently 29). creativemomma15 on "When did you first have contractions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-have-contractions#post-1130101 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:08:49 +0000 creativemomma15 1130101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Rubies: thanks for the reassurance. This is baby #2 so you would think I would be more at ease with this, but I am nervous about delivering early again. Also, it is hard to rest when you are chasing around an 18 month old! It's harder to know then what is going to turn into more real contractions and what are just braxton hicks!

Started having contractions at 34 weeks; painful, entire belly hard, nothing I do stops them. Having contractions now as I type this at 40+3.

And then my labour contractions started at 40w3d...I gave birth the next afternoon. With #2, I've been having Braxton-Hicks since around 25 weeks, constantly. No worries! Completely normal! creativemomma15 on "When did you first have contractions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-have-contractions#post-1129848 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:56:25 +0000 creativemomma15 1129848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When did you start getting contractions, Braxton hicks or real? How often did you have them? I am 26 weeks 5 days and freaking out a little because I had a few contractions tonight. I am resting now and my mom came to help with DS but I am a little panicked.
