I'm currently 19+3 with my 2nd and have been experiencing labour like pains which are worryingly the same as the pains I experienced whilst in actual labour with my first!
I first put them down to growing pains but after a few more googled when braxton hicks can start and apparently they start from 6 weeks but aren't felt until much later, but sometimes as early as 20 weeks.
I had an incredibly easy pregnancy and labour with my first (2 hrs in total and more uncomfortable than painful!) I know have the same lower back pain and the tightening is really low down, seems lower than described in the write up for braxton hicks.
This time my pregnancy has been completely different so nothing should surprise me...but braxton hicks already?!
Has anyone experienced similar so early on? I feel like I'm going mad!
Thanks in advance x
