Braxton Hicks this early a sign of trouble???

Thanks ladies your comments all helped ease my mind. I'm sure everything is fine for now!

oh no have you tried a chiro?? I had some horrible sciatic pain(chiro didn't fix lol) but did line up baby perfectly for a fast easy birth compared to my others:)

Like the others said, I wouldn't worry about it. And they wouldn't be BH's anyways, just round ligament 'pain' at this point.

With subsequent pregnancies everything's just all, well, pre-loosened LOL and that's why you pop sooner and ligaments go whacky sooner. Plus since you've been preggo before your body already knows what to do, and you're also probably just more aware of the feelings. And, well, none of us are getting younger either which doesn't help!!

I can tell you that while I wouldn't term them contractions, I have noticed tightening and pulling sensations especially when I'm working out and doing ab/planks. They're very very different from AF cramps/bloat/heaviness though, so as long as it's not like AF I wouldn't worry about it at ALL.

Mostly I'm worried about my hips going whackadoo on me again (ligaments released so much with DS3 that I had to crawl up the stairs!!!) but I'm also much much fitter physically wise than I was going into my last pregnancy so I hope that'll help!

With my second pregnancy I felt them super early. This time around (third) I'm already 22 weeks and just starting to notice them. I wouldn't worry...I actually kind of enjoy them (I know it's weird), it's like I'm getting "in shape" for labor without having to do anything :)

I had them with all pregnancies and they got earlier and more often with each one. Jury is out on this one of course as I'm only 12dpo. ;-)

I also get the hip/back pain! Last pregnancy I stumbled around like a cripple for the entire third trimester, and by the end I had to use couches, pram, you name it as a walking aid. None of my doctors ever put me on bed rest so my family never helped. Luckily I had to go early at 38 weeks last time as I wouldn't have coped any longer!
