What is this?

For the past week or so I've had an odd, not painful tightening feeling that seems to come from the middle of my womb. If I prod my tummy whilst it is happening, it feels really hard and tense. I've prob noticed it happening 2 or 3 times.

Is it Braxton Hicks? I always thought that was a late pregnancy thing - I'm about 21 weeks.

I had this with DS, its just baby turning over I think and stretching your uterus.

It doesn't feel like the rest of the movements though, although it has coincided with me being able to feel baby moving ALOT. He's barely sat still at all today!

You can get braxton hicks quite early - 20 weeks isn't unheard of. If you're worried talk to your midwife, but a quick search on google reveals plenty of people saying they get BH early.

It doesn't feel like something to worry about, I'm just curious I guess!

Sounds exactly like the BH I used to get and I got them early in the second trimester.
