Hi,
I noticed my first BH at 16 wks (1st pg) and am now 26 wks. Sometimes I have as many as 30 or so a day - drinking tons of water doesn't to help them any for me, but lying down does. Last wk OB checked my cervix and it is still closed and "feels normal". I guess some women feel them a lot and others not at all...what you describe sounds like normal BH's. I sure hope it means an easier or at least quicker labor!
