I just had one! At 14 weeks 6 days.
So crazy!
I don't remember feeling them this early the first time around, but then again, I didn't know what they felt like either.

I have no idea what they feel like so I don't know I'm 24 weeks 4 days though so I'd think they'd have started/will start soon!

I think I've been feeling them the past couple of weeks but I think I identified them this past week at 28 weeks! I'm not sure what else they could be..

I'm almost 30 weeks and haven't had any. At least I don't think I have... this is my first baby so I'm not sure!

FTM here so I'm not too sure yet... I've gotten random pangs of side pain that last a second... I'm sure I'll know in the next few weeks what they really feel like (20 wks)

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).

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?

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.

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.

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!

Wow I thought I had them early at 18 weeks, but you definitely have me beat!

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.

I'm 27w and don't think I've had them yet. The only time I've noticed contraction tightness is right after sex, but I don't think that really counts as Braxton Hicks!
