tummy tightening

[kaye]

Hi

My whole tummy keeps tightening but more so on the right side.

Is this normal? Will be 25 weeks tomorrow. Just looking for reassurance really.

Thanks for any help x

Normal...its Braxton Hicks contractions more than likely. As long as its not painful just uncomfortable you're fine. Make sure you are staying hydrated though. They tend to be more frequent when you're dehydrated and being active. But they are not harmful they actually are helping your uterus 'tone' for labor.

Exactly what Mimzy3 said, I notice I get them when its particularly humid outside.

It sounds like your baby is pushing it's body up against the outside. That is how I can tell where my babies are.
