Anyone else had Braxton Hicks at 17 weeks?
This is my first pregnancy after 2 miscarriages.
I wouldn't say it's painful but very uncomfortable.
Don't normally get them daily but did have one last night and one just now. Tends to go when I relax. they really make me nervous 😥

I had them quite early on too, can't remember exactly how many weeks I was. I'm sure I remember reading you can have them anytime after 12 weeks.

I'm 18 weeks and not had them but have read they can start at any point from 16 weeks. It seems to be totally normal x

I started having them at 16/17 weeks with both of my children. I was told that it was too early but I had one during a scan and the consultant confirmed that’s what it was.

I had them quite bad early on (can't remember exactly when, but must have started around 18 weeks or so). Eased off after a month or so and never got them again! Not pleasant and would stop me in my tracks. Once hit so bad my husband was panicking thinking he was going to need to find an ambulance (we were unhelpfully on a weekend abroad, so must have been about 5-6 months then) but I had just been massively overdoing it walking miles in sub-zero temperatures due to my own stubbornness! Hope all calms down for you shortly.

I had them too. One side of my belly just seemed to cramp and go all hard. It did ease a bit but then came back at 28 weeks - they pinched my ribs it was so painful.
