I Figured it was a boy about 1 month ago, but now i think I have started Braxton Hicks Contractions, and I am only 20 weeks!!! Has anyone ever started them this early? Is it ok, or should I go get looked at now, I have an appointment on Monday, but thought I would ask you guys first.

Occasional, irregular contractions that occur several times per day are perfectly normal and are known as Braxton Hicks contractions.
Not all expectant mothers have these contractions which can start as early as 20 weeks into the pregnancy.
They are thought to be part of the process of effacement, the thinning and dilation of the cervix.
Contributing factor: dehydration
Treatment: fluid intake

Just take it easy. Stay off your feet as much as possible.
