★Twin Boys★Due 7/29/09★ asked:
i am currently 21 weeks pregnant with twins. This is my third pregnancy. All day today i have been feeling a tightning in my stomach on and off and i am wondering what is the earliest you can start experiencing contractions. i do not remember having this until later on in all of my other pregnancies
also after how long or how many should i call a doctor, or is this normal and nothing to worry about?
you can experience contractions whenever especially with twins BUT YOU NEED TO CALL!!!
Braxton Hicks contractions can start as early as 16 weeks for most women.
If you get more than 4 strong ones in one hour call L & D and speak with a nurse.
Since this isn’t your first pregnancy they can start as early as 16 weeks. When they’re 5 minutes apart and very intense you need to go to the hospital or call a nurse.
since you are pregnant with twins you chance of having complications have gone up. real contractions shouldn’t be until much later.
you need to go to the doctor and make sure this isn’t true labor.
if you are in labor your babies are much to young to be born.
go to the er. not kidding.
