What does it feel like? Not sure I've had it yet (27 weeks)

I never really had them so I don't think everyone gets them?!

People describe them as tightenings though, I waited for them but never felt anything!

I had them at about 19 weeks which I thought was really early but apparently not. Just feels like the baby has curled up really small into a ball in your tummy and a bit cramp like but not painful.

I had none that I could feel in my first and second pregnancies and tonnes in my third. Mostly felt like nothing (aka no pain) but that my bump went hard all over. So a bit like when the baby is stretching out and pushing at a part of your bump, but everywhere at once

Mine has started today at 17 weeks, second baby 😊

Never had them in previous pregnancy but started getting them about 18 weeks this time.

I had loads first time, definitely by 30 weeks. This time, I’m now 34 weeks and nothing yet. It used to feel like the bump was tensing up, the skin would tighten and hold for a few seconds then release. Not painful but I knew they were happening.
