29 weeks and sucking in my tummy???

Hi Ladies,
I’m 29 weeks and sometimes feel tightness around the front of my tummy including near my belly button.
A week ago, my husband said he had thought I was sucking in my tummy and asked me to inhale and exhale deeply.
Since then, I’ve noticed that I sometimes am sucking in my tummy and wondered why??? I’m clearly doing it unconsciously and when I realise I do try and stop doing it.

My husband thinks it could be because I think I’m getting fat now and was very reassuring saying I’m still very beautiful and pregnant not fat.
I wondered if other women do this?? And any tips for managing it?

Thanks x
