Braxton hicks at 20w?

Iv been getting some tightening on and off for the past few weeks. My stomach gets hard for a second, feels tight, then relaxes. Is this braxton hicks or something i have to worry about? I worry bc i know i havent been drinking enough water, i try to but for some reason its just so hard for me, so i dunno if this is cuz im dehydrated or something. I go to the dr wed so ill ask but i was just wondering in the meantime.

Re: Braxton hicks at 20w?

I would definitely be conscious of your water intake. That was always my biggest cause of BH. For me, it would start around 23/24 weeks or so. Whenever I had a lot in one day, I would think back and realize I hadn't had enough water that day. HTH!

I'm glad I saw this. I swore I felt BH a couple of times over the weekend and thought I was crazy (I'm 28w+ now). It wasn't for an extended period of time (literally one minute over here and another minute over there on 2 different days). I haven't been drinking enough water at all so I'll be more conscious of this.
