Probably: Some estimate that these contractions start as early as 6 weeks of gestation. When they are actually felt depends on the person. They are a normal part of pregnancy, and not something to be concerned about. However, if you get more than 4-5 in an hour at regular intervals, you should see your doctor to ensure you are not having premature labor.
