Contractions at 19 weeks?

Question

So I've been having non-painful, irregular  tightening of my uterus occasionally.  It will do this a couple times in a row and then stop completely maybe three or four times a day.  I mostly notice it when I'm laying down but I don't know if it's because this is when I'm paying attention. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Answer

If it stops they are Braxton Hicks. Def look up now the difference between the two it will save you a lot of scares. Braxton Hicks are irregular and untimable. They will not strengthen as hmthey continue and they could last a few minutes or days, but I'm usually go away with relaxing. If the tightening goes away with relaxing, a bath, or drinking water they are not contractions. Contractions can be timed, will grow closer together instead of further apart, strengthen in the pain and become more intense as the time passes.  That is what will make your cervix change, but not Braxton Hicks.

Answer

Your body is getting ready. Just practicing. Unless you are uncomfortable to the point that you can't go on you should just ignore it. If it becomes painful ask your doctor or go the ER
