Can you get Braxton Hicks as early as 18 weeks if it's your first pregnancy? A few times this week I've randomly gotten a tightening feeling in my lower abdomen. It's really noticeable and my belly even feels firmer when it happens. It lasts like 15-20 seconds then just goes away. Could it be anything else?
its not to early at all.. i felt bh at 13 weeks with this bby. which is my 6th. maybe thats y.. And all my other pregnancies they started around this time...But im 19 weeks now n felt some last night also.. Totally normal doesnt mean ur dehydrated or need more water.. u can get um even if ur hydrating urself properly.. Sounds weird but i love the feelin of bh.. lol
@egates, Yeah that's what is worrying me, it seems too early. I mean I'm closer to 19 weeks and she's measuring a little ahead but it still seems weird to me if that's what these are.
No problem definitely do that because sometimes it's not good when you get them so early @moonie
@alana_sunshine, @egates Thanks ladies! I'll drink more this weekend and if they are still happening I'll call Monday or go in earlier if they get more frequent.
They say it means you should drink more water I had Braxton hicks at 24 weeks & had to go to labor & delivery because my cervix was short I had to drink a lot of water to grow it back to its proper length so if you continue to have them I would suggest tell your doctor

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

18 weeks today! My stomach has changed so much in the last week/week & a half. It's hard & round 24/7 now, I just feel like it's big for only 18 weeks! What did you look like at 18 weeks?
It's my turn ladies!
Finally, after nearly FORTY-TWO weeks... I decided to get induced. Baby Violet scared me with some decreased fetal movement and I couldn't wait any longer.
In my last few weeks, am I supposed to feel more pressure on my bladder?! At the same time, it's hard to breathe! My lungs feel pressed. I'm 37 weeks now!! I wana cry. So many random aches & pains. Omg this is hard!! 😩😫😭😭
@forevablessedx6, It doesn't hurt or anything, just feels very weird! I wish I knew that's what it was for sure but I'm not sure what else it could be. I've never felt anything like it before.
