Yup... totally normal. The whole pregnancy your body is preparing to have a baby. I would get it a lot here and there in my 2nd tri. Funny thing is I didn't get it so much in my third tri

I had them earlier than that I think. I had an irritable uterus from excessive amniotic fluid due to my gestational diabetes....he was annoying and sometimes they would take my breath away but they were not painful...

I am 25+ weeks with twins and I have been having them for a few weeks now. My dr. said they are normal as long as they don't last a long time and don't develop into a pattern.

Yup I had them. THey didn't do anything to help me though. I was induced because of complication at 37 weeks and I thought they would have helped me dialate a bit.. nope!

I was getting them around 20 weeks and I believ eyou are having twins? They put a bit more stress on your uterus. Your Dr should do a non stress test just to make sure you are not in early labor. Mine started around 26 weeks(teh non stress test I mean) and I delivered at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia
