How early did you feel Braxton Hicks?

[FrazzyAndFrumpled]

I’m 21+3 with my second baby. On a few of occasions over the past week or so, I’ve noticed an odd sensation in my bump - sort of like pressure and it feels hard. I thought it was baby moving into an awkward position or pushing out, but I’m now wondering if it’s actually Braxton Hicks? I think it probably is, they feel similar to the BH I had towards the end of my first pregnancy.

Did anyone else feel BH really early?

Bump

I've had similar sensations too probably since just before my 20 week scan. I too assumed it was baby moving position but it makes my whole bump feel hard so i think it sounds like braxton hicks. I never had them with my first pregnancy so it's all new to me but im hoping that its somewhat normal to get them this early!

13-14 weeks with all 4 pregnancies.

18/19 weeks. Feel fewer now at 28 weeks than I did back then!

Pretty early with DS, around 13-14 weeks. I remember them really scaring me as my bump went all hard and was rather uncomfortable and stopped me from doing what I was previously doing and I thought I was going into early labour. Became used to them though and MW assured me that I will know for sure when I was in actual labour.

That’s interesting, physicskate, I wonder why that might be!

Good to know that others have felt them early too they definitely feel very different to labour contractions!
