Tight feeling

I’m 21wks ftm, recently I’ve been feeling tightness in my belly. It feels like baby is stretching my uterus cause not enough space but I’ve yet to feel baby’s kicks. Anyone have similar experience? #advicepls #pleasehelp #pregnancy

Absolutely normal! Tightening in the belly is caused by braxton hicks which normally occurs from the 2nd trimester onwards. Should not feel painful, just uncomfortable and comes & goes for a few seconds.

Thank you

yes it’s normal as the uterus stretches to accommodate baby.. not that baby will kick to expand the uterus 😂
