Hi all,
Hope everyone had a good xmas.

Has anyone else had braxton hicks as soon as this? i am 28 weeks and have been having them for about three weeks, i did have them with my first baby but only near the end.
Also when i had Melissa my breasts didn't leak till i had given birth but they have started last week too.

I had braxton hicks from around 25 weeks, Ethan was born at 39 weeks.

If you're worried give your midwife a quick call, just to put your mind at rest.

hI i think i had them around then maybe earlier and my boobs leaked only a little around 24 weeks for first time i think. Like Ellie said mention it to ur midwife but im sure all in normal and as it is second pregnancy i think ur body tend to do things earlier as its been there before iykwim!

Last time I had BHs a lot later but this time they started around 24 weeks. I'm getting them all the time now, more at night but they're completely irregular and painless so I'm not worried yet! I had leaky breasts pretty early last time as well as this time but it was mainly at night from lying on my side. I think it started as early as 21/22 weeks both times but luckily it doesn't happen much during the day unless I wear a top that's too tight! xo
