    Default Braxton hicks at 20 weeks?

    Anything to worry about? I just had a pretty full on one



    I'd rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief

    Nothing to worry about I'd say. Just note if they get stronger and more frequent, painful and or become regular - then I'd get checked out.

    I get them from about 16 weeks, this is my 3rd and they started 1-2 weeks ago(17weeks now), as long as they are just BH(ie don't become regular or painful), then its all ok.

    I also had them from about 15 weeks or so, prefectly normal as long as there's no pain. Mine got stronger the closer to full-term I got. It's said that we can get them from as early as 6/7 weeks (although probably can't feel them) and that we'll even get them when we're not pregnant sometimes, at certain stages of our cycles.

    Congrats on your pregnancy!
