Could I be having BH this early? Felt some similar last week as well. I don't think I had them with my first pregnancy.
Getting definate tightenings on occasion, often after doing something strenuous.
Anything to worry about?

I've half them since about 20 weeks midwife said not to worry only to worry if they are constant through out the day regular and at the point I'm in so much pain I can't move when I have them? Check with you midwife though as they may give different advice as mine said she isn't concerned by them till further on e.g 32 weeks and no to little movement through the day

Ive had them since 16 weeks. They were just odd at the start but now I'm 30 weeks and bump is much bigger they do get uncomfy as suddenly I can't bend over or move as easily when I effectively have a basketball under my ribs! My midwife says it is fine and as tomany says, if it gets painful or starts happening regularly then call someone. Mine aren't painful, just awkward. Definitely happen more the more active I am - we were moving house this weekend and I was getting a few every hour. Now sitting at work today it's much less.

Thanks, I don't see the midwife for a few weeks yet, but will mention it, and get in touch if it gets worse.
