Hiya, I'm just sat here and my whole bump started sort of 'tightening' was uncomfortable but not painful persay, perhaps a dull ache? There's also been some pelvis pressure.

Any help would be appriciated as I've not done this before and don't know if its something I should be worried about.

Thanks!!

It could be labour starting, but fvery early days, don't panic!
Or it could just be your baby sitting in an uncomfortable position and braxton hicks.

I would wait and see if it happens more.
This happened to me then about a day or two later they came again, this was my labour starting.

But as selinddoula says it could baby sitting in an uncomfortable position and braxton hicks so don't panic :)

Thank you for your replies, hasn't happened again so I suppose it was a false alarm! :)
