Braxton Hicks are sporadic uterine contractions that actually start at about 6 weeks, although you won't be able to feel them that early. You probably won't start to notice them until sometime after mid-pregnancy, if you notice them at all (some women don't).
I started to get them (or notice them) around 22 weeks. The feel like the baby is curling up in a little ball, and your stomach get really hard. Then after about 30-45 seconds your stomach goes back to normal. It's just a really tight feeling, and usually totally painless. Sometimes though, they can start in your back and work their way around, feeling like strong menstrual cramps. I get those every now and then.
Here is a link with more information. Good luck! :)

Im 30 weeks pregnant and have now been feeling them for about 2 weeks. With my first child I didnt feel them at all so I believe it's different for everyone everytime. If you are having them and are concerned it is best to get a check up. Best of luck I hope everything goes well for you.

Assume that you just assume your interval at present and you've got ignored it,you'll make a scan even the following day however the indicator will likely be stupid& gentle.The extra the times get handed,the indicator might be correct.Ideally fortieth day(out of your final interval date)is compatible for Preg card scan.Though the scan be confident,process your document for the steady exams to affirm being pregnant.
