Never that early for me. Have you spoken to your midwife? Are you sure they're BH?

Yes, me. I've had them regularly from 19 weeks, now 33 weeks and they're worse than ever, carrying on all day, every day. Midwives have called it having an irritable uterus, and are not particularly concerned by it - it's uncomfortable but as long as there's no signs of premature labour then medically it's not a big deal.

You should definitely talk to your midwife though to make sure that's all it is.

I’ve had them daily from about 16 weeks, currently 22 weeks. In my previous pregnancy I had them daily from 14 / 15 weeks and delivered at term. My midwife told me that Braxton Hicks can be seen on scans as early as 6 weeks, and many women will have them throughout their pregnancies.

When you say constant, do they go away when u move ? and are not gettin stronger or regular, if worried always check with a midwife

Yes had them since 19 weeks and will get them most days. Sometimes they are pretty uncomfortable but they do pass after around a minute. Some days I have more than others and can be quite often

Hiya, hope you're all well.

Yes am in the same boat. 32 weeks here and have them all day everyday. Some have began to get more painful but I can definitely cope and breathe through them. It's just the constant sickness and feeling crappy and weighed down. Cant wait to have her now. This will be our 5th baby.
I was told because it's my 5th, I'm more likely to feel them more often and are stronger.

I have had them since roughly 20 weeks

I had some BH during 5th/6th month but it seems it could be due to extreme tiredness (my 3rd child.... so no napping, disruptsd nights....). Dehydration can also cause early BH
