I had them from 12 weeks! Didn't know what they were then though, very strange feeling like a little golf ball tightening! then and orange, melon, water melon and finally a beach ball! It's rare but possible and it happened to me! My labour was fine and quite pain free only gas and air and my midwife said it was probably because i'd had braxton hicks all the way through that my uterus was toned and ready! Maybe your labour will be like that too?! xx
From 12 weeks, gosh that is early isn't it! Oh that's good to hear, I just paniced because I don't remember having them with the other two pregnancies. I do remember with my second getting them slightly towards the end, just don't remember them that strong and being able to time them!!!!! My other two were about 4 hours from start to finish with no pain relief so i'd be very pleased if this one was quicker!! Also with my last boy i was 2 and a alf weeks early so did worry slightly, or no reason though it seems! Thanks for your reply its so nice hearing from others in same position, my husband gets a little bored bless him although he pretends to be interested!!! Thanks again Jo

Oh that makes me feel better that i'm not the only one. I started getting them about 28weeks and thought that was way too early but have asked my midwife who said all is fine. I've rested most he week and they have got better, bit tricky to rest though with a 4yr old and 2yr old, oh well, not long now. Is this your 3rd? thanks for replying xx

Hi, I am 31 nearly 32 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 and seem to be struggling alot recently. Today I have been getting really strong tightenings and don't remember this at all with the other two boys! My midwife assures me this is quite normal but my bump has changed shape and there is alot of pressure below. Does anyone have any advice or should I pack my hospital bag?????? Starting to wonder!!!
