The only time I've noticed contraction tightness is right after sex, but I don't think that really counts as Braxton Hicks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-279963 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:17:51 +0000 ladyfingers 279963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had some yesterday. I'm 18 weeks today - I was painting and bending and twisting a bit too much and I had some bad pain I'd never had before, I couldn't even stand straight! I freaked out and sat down and ate some cornflakes and drank some water and the pain immediately went away. But I'm not sure what BH is supposed to feel like so I'm not totally sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-279954 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:08:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 279954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I thought I had them early at 18 weeks, but you definitely have me beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-279945 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:54:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 279945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not until 37 weeks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-279936 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:48:31 +0000 Andrea 279936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only just started having them last week at 22 weeks. I don't remember when I had them last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208970 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:48:23 +0000 Honeybee 208970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any until the very end with DD; with DS, I had BH contractions from VERY early on, like 15/16 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208479 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:36:29 +0000 purrpletulips 208479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't remember last pregnancy but this one they started at 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208427 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:56:38 +0000 LivsMama 208427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a single one by the time I had my section on her due date. A few times I thought "maybe this is one" but it was gas lol. Even when I was on the monitors at 30 weeks, 34 weeks, 37 weeks, and before my surgery, they said there was zero contracting activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208417 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:37:35 +0000 MamaMoose 208417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19w+1 and nothing yet. I'm hoping to go a while longer before I get them because I know they are going to freak me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208390 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:04:46 +0000 skipra 208390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started to get them a couple weeks ago - I'm 29.5 weeks now. I haven't had a chance to talk to my midwife to see if that's what I'm experiencing, but it feels kind of like the baby is rolling around my belly and it feels really hard for maybe 30 seconds. Also sometimes my belly gets hard when I stand up and have to pee, not sure if that is it too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208386 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:00:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 208386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 20 weeks . . . for me, it was pretty distinctive, i.e., it just felt like my entire uterus was contracting (it got really hard and tight) and then would just relax. At 30.5 weeks, I have them pretty much daily (despite my water intake of 100+ ounces a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208328 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 02:53:58 +0000 winniebee 208328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 26w and I felt them very regularly until the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208319 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 02:03:05 +0000 Kemma 208319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks and I think I'm getting them every so often but I'm not 100% sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208305 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 01:34:12 +0000 cyndistar3 208305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember having them the first time but strted having them around 13is weeks the second time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-braxton-hicks-contractions#post-208292 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 00:06:57 +0000 mrsjyw 208292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FTM here so I'm not too sure yet... I've gotten random pangs of side pain that last a second...
