too soon for Braxton hicks??

[charlis_mum]

The last few days i have been having a really hard tightening sensation accross by belly. I am not sure if they could be braxton hicks or not. I didn't think i ever really had then with DD as i always thought they would feel like period pain like contractions. But i did have this tightening with DD too, but not until around 30+weeks.

It all just feels really tight and if i poke about it is pretty hard - i think i can feel my uterus much easier when it is like this than normally. It doesn't 'hurt' but today it is feeling a bit uncomfortable. I have been having those 'stretching' pains, and it's not the same as those, so i don't think it is stretching. Could it be braxton hicks? especially this early? Anyone else feeling anything like this?

My frist set of braxton hicks were my most severe! And they were on a Friday night when I was exactly 20 weeks along.
How far along ar you now?
Maybe because you've already been there done that you're experiencing them early?

omg I have had these for the last week and wandered the same thing! I never had them with the last two....

I had this from early on with my last pregnancy and have been getting it again this time for about the last 2 weeks. When i asked my midwife about it last time she said it was braxton hicks.
