I've noticed in the last week or so the occasional BH contraction. Who all is having them and what week did you start? Just curious about what's normal being the worrier that I am...

Mine probably started at 23 weeks and I was having one every other day (that I could feel.) I probably have one or two a day now. When I went to my doctor last Monday I told her I was having them and she said, "Oh good!"

I started having them maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I didnt get them until a lot later with ds, but whatever idiot says they shouldnt hurt is full of crap, at times, they can hurt!

Mine started really really early, probably 15 weeks but im not sure because i cant remember a time when i wasnt feeling them! I know it was similar to my first pregnancy because i remember feeling BH before the baby kicking. I get several every day and lately i've noticed they really seem to pick up in the evenings.

I've been having them for a long while now, back since like 16 weeks or something! I have a couple a day, they feel pressury and weird but not really painful. My midwife is excited though, a sign that my body is going to work!

Katie I have been getting them for several weeks. I never had them w/my other two pregnancies so this is new! They can kinda feel scary, like I might be going into labor, but they always slow down and stop so I know they are just my body practicing for the real thing! Mention it to your doc just to be on the safe side, but I am sure all is okay!!

I noticed them around 14 weeks when standing on the train. I get them now when I'm busy doing stuff or if I go up the two flights of stairs in my house at once...stuff liket hat.

i've had them for a few weeks now. maybe a 2-3 a day. i had them a lot with ds, so i was expecting to have them this time too. and yeah they can hurt, like a real uncomfortable pain, like when everything gets tight, it puts strain on those already hurting muscles lol

I have no clue. I've had a few times where I thought maybe what I was feeling was BH, but how would I know? I have nothing to compare it to and I don't know how to differentiate the different pains I have.
