Top of bump tightenings

Just after some advice - A couple of times today I’ve had this really tight feeling across the top of my bump that makes me feel very short of breath. My bump doesn’t feel tighter or harder to touch than normal during this time. Does anyone know what this could be? I haven’t had any Braxton hicks so unsure what that feels like. I’m 35 + 3

I get these when I get Braxton hicks, feels really tight and uncomfortable but not exactly painful and only lasts a couple of seconds

Sounds like classic B-H. It feels a bit like having your bump suddenly shrink-wrapped. It doesn't necessarily feel hard to the touch or look any different and I generally felt mine at the top of my bump mostly. My actual labour contractions were more periody and started lower down.
