When did you start getting...

BH contractions? Yesterday, I felt like I was going to get my period at two points in the day. I drank more water just incase I was a little low on the fluid...

I read in my books that you usually start at about 20 weeks or so, but I was curious if anyone else did???

Of course, everything else seems normal!

Tomorrow I get to see the baby again!! I can't wait!!!

Re: When did you start getting...

I started getting contractions about a month ago at 22 weeks. I would have one or two a day- just generalized tightening all over, no pain. Two weekends ago I was having a lot more than usual - two or three an hour. They spaced out over a few days and now I am back to a few a day. I was moving to a new apt that week and i think I just did too mcuh. My OB made me have an u/s to check my cervix to make sure it wasn't changing a all- which it's not. I never called her about the ctxs and she yelled at me- so be sure to call your MD if anything is new or different.

Re: When did you start getting...

around 20-23 weeks. they are kind of annoying- just watch the frequency of them, and if they are accompanied by any pain. call your doctor if you feel anything weird of course. mine have subsided quite a bit, and i did find that drinking water helped a LOT>
