Hi April,
Technically, from my understanding, women can start having Braxton Hicks contractions before the second trimester - but they are usually so mild that you can not feel them. Many women start feeling them between 20-28 weeks of pregnancy, and of course they tend to get stronger towards the end of the pregnancy. In any event the answer to your question is yes, it is normal ) -Jen On Feb 16, 7:11*pm, "april & co" wrote: Hi When did everybody start feeling Braxton Hicks.

Braxton hicks occur through the entire of pregnancy they are just not
generally felt till the 2nd trimester or later, and in some cases some women never feel them. The start from implantation, and they are a conditioning exercise for your uterus. Mine started at 18 weeks with Jazz and 16 weeks with Abby. Abby's in particular were very strong from 16 weeks onwards. Make sure you are good and hydrated as this can make them more frequent. -- Pip, in NZ My girls : DD1 Jasmine - 5 weeks early - March 02 - 4lb 12oz Mummy I'm not asking you, I'M TELLING YOU!!!!! DD2 Abby - 8 weeks early - Feb 05 - 3lb 14oz Three now and so grown up "Yes you can drive me insane just by talking to me!" "april & co" wrote in message ...

I didn't have BH with #1 or #2, but got them from about 15/16 weeks with #3. He came out at 39 weeks so I assume this is normal and fine. Debbie |
