  • My doctor said you can start having them as early as 20 weeks. Alot of women don't even feel them. I started having them around 28 weeks :)
  • I actually never had braxton hicks with eithier of my boys
  • Well that I actually felt duh me haha
  • Thanks i just wanted to know so i dont panic and go rushing to hospital when i get them haha prob still will lol
  • @samiUK how far along are you?
  • Lol im always worried that would be me and they'd have to send me home.
  • im 17 weeks @snikta127

    3rd_bumps_a_charm i will prob be goin in soon has i feel a twinge or ringing up haha
  • I haven't had any yet and im 39wks
  • Yea I've had a couple of times where I almost went to the hospital but decided to wait and was glad I didn't go cuz like an hour later I was fine.
  • Even when you get them @samiUK if you get them at all they don't hurt. They get uncomfortable if your having alot of them. And don't worry when its the real thing you will know :)
  • @PreggoGiggles hope im like that lol my mum just said with her boys she never had any but with us girls she did (2of each)

    @snikta127 ill try sit them out then
  • @snikta127 well i wont b telling bd when i did he panics at every lil twinge i say i have or if i go ooooo he's like whats up ? lol hes already said from 34 weeks ill b going into work with him everyday im like no... lol
  • From what I understand they aren't painful, more of an annoyance. I heard it is your body practicing with braxton hicks. I hope my body doesn't need the practice, haha
  • @PreggoGiggles well hopefully for you at 39 weeks you dont need practise and its the real thing :D I've actually just had a flashback of my mum having them with my sis when i was like 8
  • Awww @samiUK I think its adorable when the worry like that. My bd wont let me go anywhere alone. :)
  • I feel dumb for asking but exactly what is braxton hicks, I see it being tlked about a lot but dnt know what out is??
  • @snikta127 can be annoying sometimes lol hes finally relented tho and letting me have a normal tea in a morning and if i want another its gotta b decaf :/ and if ive had an hormonal crying fit he's like your not going to work like that im like im fineeeee
  • 1stTime_Mommy its basically like fake contractions i believe
  • @samiUk yea I can see where that would get irritating :) and @1stTime_mommy they are practice contractions. They help get your body ready for labor. :)
  • Oh okay thanks I'm 21 wks so I wldnt wanna experience something and have no idea what happening and freak out!
  • I started getting them early at like 16-17 weeks. Ive gotten a lot ever since.
