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.
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.

I never had them at all but I miss those baby kicks inside the belly! It's such a sweet miracle to feel that.

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?

I felt something similar yesterday at like 3am and was super freaked out, but dr said it was either some movement or a BH.

I'm almost 38 weeks and have had them since before 20 weeks. No end in sight. No dilation or anything.

@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...

does anyone else feel like they need to pee afterwards? maybe it's the tightness pushing on my bladder..

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.

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.

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

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.

I felt them starting that early. They weren't doing anything productive though - I wasn't dilated at all when my water broke!

I'm a day shy of 16 weeks and have felt them. I had them early on with Chloe, too!

Mine started at 15 weeks this time. Now at 32 weeks I'm having them probably 6-10 per day
