Pregnant with DC2, am having BH contractions already, funnily enough only when I belly laugh, which happily I had a whole weekend of!
Oh lordy, just thinking about it's setting me off again!

Thanks

Yep, with ds I had them from about 12 weeks. I have been having tightenings now with this pg too (am 10 weeks).

It's very annoying as I am constantly needing a wee and the BH are squeezing my full bladder!

Yes was getting a bit worried about it but sounds like its quite normal. Also have a bump that looks about 27 weeks (compared to last time)!!

Yes, I had them from 13 weeks throughout the whole pregnancy...hardly noticable, really, except they made my heart beat go thud thud thud while heppening...if that makes sense...I thought I was having a heart attack the first time it happened.

Yes, I posted a thread along the same lines lol. I am 18+4 PG with DC2 and have been having BH for about 3/4 weeks now. I get them mainly when I have done too much walking and if I stand for too long.

I think it is more common to have them earlier with subsequent PG. I never had them when PG with DD until about 32ish weeks.
