Braxton hicks....

When do most ladies start to feel Braxton hicks??? i dont recall getting them with my son so im not sure??
Do they feel like mild contractions???

They are more annoying than anything. Don't usually get them in the first pregnancy so when you get them in the second its a little shock. Period pain and very light contractions is a good way of discribing them. Towards the end of the pregnancy you have to keep a watch on them just in case they are the real thing. Usually get them from 25 weeks onwards maybe earlier maybe later just depends.

I thought this was a bit too early to be feeling them (14.5 weeks) but its certainly seems like what they are!
Are they dangerous to get this early??

i didn't feel them at all with jack but was getting them from about 24-25wks with charli. your tummy hardens up and 'pushes out' if that makes sense...just like the other ladies have said

The pains you are experiencing may be stretching pains as well? I had them for ages and ages. BH usually come later I think? Ask your MW if you are worried about them.

I started noticing BH around 20 weeks I think and lately I've had some period type cramping as well which may or may not be related.

I had BH from about 13wks (apparently early). During these early weeks I did wonder if it was sort of bowel related - they can feel like the cramps you get when you need to go #2. When I described them to my mw as a tightening of my belly she said they were BH.

From about 17-30 weeks they were strongest in the evening, and were a good way to be able to feel the lumps of the baby.

More recently they have been strong down the bottom of my belly and enough pressure to sort of squeeze my bladder (or that's what it feels like). I think I've also noticed less BH over the last few weeks, even though everything you read says you get more at this stage. My mw said that was ok.

On reflection, the pains could just be b/c I am slightly constipated (sorry TMI). Baby is head down & anterior so seems to be in the right position.
