If you think they could be contractions, you should consult your physician. Braxton Hicks contractions can actually start around 6 weeks, but you shouldn't be able to feel them until about 1/2 way through (20 weeks) and that is actually much earlier than the majority of women start felling them. I would definatly give the heads up to your doctor. When you get these, you should stop what you are doing and put your feet up and call your doctor. Good luck!!
