Just a Question...
Posted: 08-11-04 14:12pm

Hey,
i was wondering....How early do you normally start getting braxton hicks contractions? And what do they feel like? I'm over here losing my mind because every once in awhile I get this really weird feeling in my abdomen. Kinda like, everything in me is tightening up like crazy and the only way to get it to go away is to either curl up in ball until it fades, or get up and walk around in pain for a minute or so.

How far long are you? I think someone said you can get them as early as 20 weeks but im not sure. You can go to www.Babycenter.Com and they have a search and you can find info on pretty much anything

Oh ok, well I think it might still be early and maybe its cramps but you should check the sites. Im 27 weeks today and I havent had many pains yet. Just kicks from the baby. Or my stomach hurts but thats about it. So I dont know. You should check the site or call your doc

Lol nikkie, I was thinking the same thing, like omg where did the time go, this is just sneeking up .F.A.S.T!!!


I noticed today when I walked to the library, on the way back, I started getting a cramp in my lower stomach/back. I was going to walk and get my wic today, but desided I better come sit down a bit, and go later, or tomorrow. Sad maybe its just my bad back bothering me again. But when I go tomorrow I will take breaks as I go, casue its a couple miles away, and the library isn't even a mile. Sad

I'm 20 weeks and I don't *think* i've gotten them yet... I have had some cramp type feelings, but in places too high to be my uterus at this point.

Normally they start around 20 weeks.. That is normal.. That is what my obgyn told me.. And that is when I started to feel them so you're fine ..

Where are they at 20 weeks? Lower abdomen or up by your stomach/lower lungs?
