Has anyone else experienced tightening in there second trimester? I am 22w+3 and feel a strange pressure in my lower abdomen, when I feel it it is hard, it only last a few seconds. This happens a few times a day
I was checked last week and my cervix was closed and long.
Just wondered if anyone else has had similar as I’m worried about premature labour

I've also been having these pains, its most likely braxton hicks (preparation contractions) they aren't anything to worry about. They can come on anytime after 20 weeks and they don't mean premature labour 🙂xx

I have this!! I’m only 17 weeks right now, but it’s just a pressure/tightness and I’m honestly putting it down to the baby being in that area, sometimes when I wake up needing the toilet, I think my bladder is full to the max but then I just wee the tiniest amount because that’s the sensation sometimes 🤣

Yup
