Re: Braxton hicks.
I didn't get any braxton hicks contractions until quite late into the pregnancy with my first, the other 4 were different stories.
With each consecutive pregnancy, I was feeling the braxton hicks contractions earlier and earlier, and with my last, I was feeling them at just 16 weeks. The theory there is that the more kids you have, the more used to pregnancy your body is and it holds onto memories of being pregnant.
What is interesting, is that if you have a baby 11 years or more after your last, your body doesn't remember being pregnant at all, and that pregnancy will be very close to your first. Just another useful fact brought to you by the hoarder of useless facts
