Hey just wondering how early you can experience Braxton hicks? This is baby number 2 currently 19weeks and was sure to be experiencing tightening last night while at a wedding. I never experienced this with my first. Anyone else got any insight in to this ?
Thanks you

Hi MrsLadyL. I am also 19 weeks, with my 3rd baby, and also wondering about BH's. Didn't have them with no.1, then with dc2 from about 26 weeks and now much earlier! I was surprised too, thought "Oh bugger what's wrong my stomach doesn't feel right." Was a bit worried until I thought " it feels just like Braxton Hicks...oh wait "

Good luck

Iv never experienced them, so was dancing away and was lie Oohhhh that's a bit tight! Then it would stop but enough to make me notice and feel my tummy X

I had them from 20wks or so with my first but didn't realise what they were until I had one during a midwife appt at 28wks and she told me! Been getting them for weeks now this time (26wks at moment) and I think it's normal to get them but not notice/feel; just our wombs gearing up for the big day :)
