This is my second pregnancy and with my first I had tightenings (don't like to call them BHs so early on) from near on 20 weeks, which doc said was very unusual. I never realised thats what they were until i crashed my car at 24 weeks and started having them every few mins in casualty so spent the night on the maternity ward, which is when i told them that i had had these tightenings for a few weeks now. i think they thought i was a bit strange or lying.... anyway...

I am now 14 weeks and woke up this morning with the same strong tightenings of the uterus. i couls see the shape of it from my pubic bone to belly button, rock hard and felt just like in the first pregnancy. Isn't this unusually early to get this? I'm hoping its not a sign of something i dont want to think about.. no pain though, just tight and pushing out. anyone experienced the same?

thanks
