Braxton Hicks at 24 weeks

[lauraloo09]

Hya just wondering if anyone has experienced braxton hicks as early as 24 weeks and if so is it normal? I started having them last week but been having them more often ow. I never had them this early in my last pregnancy they started at around 36 weeks and now got myself a bit worried x

Yes I did. Strongish and frequent from then onwards. DS now 5 weeks old (fab labour - I like to think the BH contributed!).

I had them from about 20 weeks on my first... I didnt know what they were at the time, so when I described them mw told me and she didnt seem concerned either. he's 12 now!

Thank you for replying eased my mind thanks x

Yup me too. Never occured to me it was BH until it happened during an antenatal apt. Thought the baby was "stretching" in there. Bless.

Yes - had them from about 19 with DC2 but if they are getting more frequent you should get your urine checked to make sure something like a UTI or thrush not to blame.

yep I didn't have any with first pregnancy, and then really freaked out when they started very early with second - reckon was some time in the 2nd trimester. I used to notice they were linked with me over doing it and not drinking enough, at that early stage. Now I'm in 3rd pregnancy, and thought I felt them the other day (8 weeks!) but I think it was just the old windy belly...!

Mine started around 19 weeks this time around. Apparantly a full bladder can exacerbate (sp?) them but makes no difference for me tbh.
