Braxton Hicks

I will be 16 weeks on Monday with my second child. I just started having Braxton Hicks contractions last night. I was wondering if anyone else started having them this early. I have looked it up and it said you could start feeling them earlier if you have already had a child before but this seems pretty early to me. Just wondering if maybe I should let my doctor know at my appointment on Monday.

I think you should defiantly let your dr know at your next apt, they need to be informed about whats going on, that's what your paying them for :) I'm sure it's nothing though, unless they are getting really painful.

Well there is never any harm on telling your doc because they might just tell you don't worry about it or okay we need to talk about it but I always tell my doc everything (even if I do go overboard) better to disclose too much then not enough :)
Oh and I an 20 weeks but I started getting braxton hicks a week ago or so, on eof my freinds I think had them around 15 weeks :)

I think it's common, but you should still alwayz let your doc know what's goin' on.
