Braxton Hicks this early a sign of trouble???

[Thorz300]

OMG IM HAVING BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS AND IM ONLY 5 weeks 1 day!! Does this happen to others? I'm worried it might mean trouble. This is my 4 th baby and this has NEVER happened..... PLEASE HELP IM WORRIED.!

I don't want to say anything to freak you out...but are you sure they are contractions? Sometimes the round ligament pain is quite strong...

[Thorz300]

They aren't painful, my uterus just gets really tight, then releases.

HUH...sorry but I'm no help on this one. But don't panic, if you're not in pain or seeing any blood I'm sure everything is FINE.

This isn't outside the realm of normal. Your uterus actually contracts regularly all the time, pregnant or not. Most women don't notice this contracting, but some do. I would check my cervix for reassurance. It should be high, firm and closed.

I started getting them early with number three and have been gettifng them for about two weeks now...

the more kiddos i had, the worse they were are i noticed them sooner. fx that all is well.

I've been feeling this sensation since about 7dpo. It's not painful, just feels tight for a few seconds. I was thinking it couldn't possibly be real uterine contractions this early and assumed it must be my bowel being irritable or something.
I got a lot of braxton hicks with my previous pregnancies, but I didn't notice them until my uterus rose above my pubic bone and then I could put my hand on my stomach and feel it tightening.

I'm still breastfeeding and I notice them during a feed - I fed DD1 whilst pregnant with DD2 and I didn't notice them at all then. I figure I've just got an experienced uterus. Hope all is well.

PS We've sort of got the same due date except I know I didn't ovulate until day 17/18. By LMP we're the same though! Not that I've ever gone on my due date before.

I never go on my due date either.... We always induce a week early because I have terrible hip pain and cannot walk by around 5 months. My hips just stop working and I randomly fall a lot so I get placed on bed rest. Ugh the joys of pregnancy!
