Tight belly?

Question

FTM currently 28 weeks. I've been getting a tightness and heaviness in my belly. I thought it might be Braxton hicks but the tightness is lasting about 10-20 mins long. Is this happening to anyone else? Any thoughts on what it can be?

Answer

I get this too and just asked my doctor about it a few days ago. It's like a tight feeling that lasts 10-20 mins, and I'm 30 weeks. She said this is the start of Braxton Hicks, and that as you get farther along, Braxton Hicks starts acting more and more like regular contractions that will last about a minute.

Answer

I get that occasionally too. My doc said it was dehydration and I needed to be drinking a lot more water. Like 84+ oz a day. Sucks having to go to the bathroom a lot more but it did help. If I hydrate well throughout the day I rarely get that tightness anymore.

Answer

I've been getting that also yesterday and today
