Mine does that too! I've noticed it since about 30 weeks. I think it's braxton hicks - the fake contractions but im not entirely sure. :)

It's braxton hicks contractions. I had them from 12 weeks in first pregnancy and from about 20 weeks this time. They feel funny but are completely normal and don't mean anything is happening too early. Just get used to them because you get more and more the further along you get. I'm 37 weeks now and for the last few weeks I've had them every 10 or so minutes!

I had the Braxton-Hicks contractions from about 20 weeks or so too. It felt like if I breathed too deeply I would explode... once I sneezed in the middle of one and thought I'd died!
