What do tightening feel like would I know?

[KHall84]

Am 31 weeks and for last 2 days the baby is moving slightly more still in the same pattern but am feeling it a lot more there bigger rolls and kicks belly goes slightly harder but only in parts and think it's just babies bum or head is this tightening? Or just movements? With my first I didnt feel anything like this but my placenta was at the front so it cushioned them so it's all new to me x

Usually your whole belly, a bit like you are tensing your abs for a few seconds

For quite a while I would wake up in the night with my stomach feeling quite hard. I could only feel this from the outside with my hands I thought it was baby's back or head pressing against my stomach. However, over time that seems to have spread and my whole stomach goes hard, more than can be the baby and I get it in the day now. So, I think that was actually the start of 'tightenings'.

Hi girls cant find the exact post im looking for was wondering if anyone could help .. ive been getting really bad period pains an was sent to triage they dine a test that said i could go into preterm labour within 2 weeks but all she said is my cervix is still quite long dies that mean its still going to be ages or that its not soft at all??
