17 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. i am having what i think is braxton hick contractions. is this normal?

Could be normal: This could be normal. It may be the baby moving. However , if you are having vaginal bleeding , large loss of fluid, contractions occurring more frequently, this could be a sign of early labor. If this is the case i would recommend seeing your doctor.
