Mild braxton hicks at 25 weeks?

[ChairmumMiaow]

I've been getting slightly uncomfortable tightness in my bump the last few days, which I'm guessing are braxton hicks.

Anyone else had them this early or should I be worrying?

its normal... don't worry. but speak to midwife if you are concerned....

I wasn't worrying yet, just wanted some reassurance as I didn't get anything till much much later with DS and I've been a bit stressed lately

will remember to tell the gp at my 25wk appointment this week.

Thanks!

I think it gets earlier in subsequent pregnancies. One of my friend got at 15 weeks in 3rd pregnancy....

I started having BH at 20 weeks and really worried about them especially when doctors and midwife said it was too early- however I'm now 30 weeks and they have got a little stronger but no more frequent. 10 weeks is a long time for preterm labour to develop so I'm hoping it might take another 10! Is this your first pregnancy? I know that they come earlier the more pregnancies you've had. Also could be to do with your size and overall tightness of bump . Get it checked out but try not to worry as I read on many websites that they can start around 20 weeks.

Yes I had them really early with dd2 - about 16 weeks. I think this is common in subsequent pregnancies, although everyone is different.
