Im 15 weeks pregnant and I've started to get Braxton hick contractions. Is this normal so early? Don't remember getting them this early with my last. Has anyone ever had them this early and everything has gone ok?

If in any doubt, call your midwife or maternity unit

I’ve had them from about 15 weeks with all of my pregnancies. I think it is early to get them but not unheard of.

If you’re worried, then best to call and talk it through as suggested.
But - yes tightenings can be very normal, I had them a lot between about 16-20 weeks, any time I tried to move faster than a slow plod!
Worth making sure there’s nothing else going on - dehydration or a UTI can kick off tightenings. If they’re regular or actually painful then get checked out.
