False Contractions or Movement?

Question

In your lower abdomen have you ever felt pulling feeling or muscle spasms? I can't tell if it's baby movement or contractions. No pain. But does give me anxiety not being sure.
I'm used to him kicking and moving. But as he's grown 2lbs and some .oz now. I can understand the feelings will probably change. Maybe be stronger.
I'm 27 weeks now, 2nd Trimester. First pregnancy.

Answer

I get that too... I had asked my doctor about it today and she said contractions will be your whole stomach. All the way from the bottom to the top, so if it's just the bottom it's probably just the baby moving, stretching or the round ligament.... most likely not contractions until you feel it in your entire abdomen. she said the whole thing will get really tight and feel like your whole midsection is just squeezing. After she described that I knew I did not feel any contractions yet. Lol. I only get those feelings in my lower abdomen like below my belly button.
