I'm 17 weeks with DC4 and have been getting uncomfortable Braxton hicks all evening. Definitely had them with DC2 & 3, but can't remember how early they started. Just looking for reassurance really. Anyone else?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I never got them! I thought the real thing (at the beginning!) was them as it was 6 days before my due date

I started getting them around 17 weeks am now 20. I don't find them uncomfortable though, just strange. I never had them in first pg.

With my third baby I started getting them at around 10-11 weeks, I kid you not. But I have quite an irritable uterus.

I've never had them and currently 31weeks with second pregnancy - just don't think my body does them!

Had a few when I was overdoing things at work- and ''may' have had a few whilst trying to clean in the heat (although different to the earlier ones so not sure f that was something else) now 38+2 and nothing for ages.
