• I've been getting them since 18 weeks. Also I get "irritable uterus" if I do too much, especially walking. Then the irritable uterus will cause BH which get very painful, like I'm gonna start my period. I asked the doctor about them at my last appt, and he said as long as they aren't coming every 10 mins for more than 2 hours it is ok. Which is kind of stupid for him to say because if it goes on for 2 hours and I dialate, they  wouldn't have time to get me to a hospital with a NICU. HMMMM. If I were to go into labor early, if they could stop the labor I would be sent down to Okinawa, or to Hawaii. If I go into labor early and they couldn't stop it, I'd be sent to a Japanese hospital 30-45 minutes away depending on traffic.

• This is my third baby and I've been getting them for months now too. I get them all the time but usually they are the worst after I've been exerting myself. We've been packing to move at the end of the month and I pack a box and get them. I have to sit down for a few minutes then pack the next box and get them again. I wouldn't say they "hurt" but I don't like the way they feel.  Like you said they are uncomfortable. They feel so much stronger than with my other two pregnancies but probably because I know what they feel like more than I did with my last pregnancies.

• I've been getting them also.  I had asked my dr about them before and he said the more kids you have the more you feel everything sooner.  That's about all I know.  Sorry it's not much help, but if you ever need better answers I suggest to ask your dr.  It never hurts.  Good luck!!

• Mine started at 16 weeks! This is my third baby and my other two started around 20 weeks. They are so regular I have been admitted 4 times already. The Dr. recommended taking one or two ibuprofen to calm the uterine muscle down as soon as they started..

• I started getting them at 17ish weeks.

  Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesnt.

  It seems to be worse after I do something active.
