Belly tightening only on the right side (34 weeks)

Hi mummies, I felt belly tightening on the upper half of my abdomen but usually only on the right side. I can visibly see that there’s a right side of my abdomen gets tighter and there’s like a small bump before it goes away in 5-10 seconds. This happens for like 10 times a day. Anyone has similar experience? I’m currently 34 weeks! #firsttimemom

I think is the baby hands and legs cos I also had small bump on the right.. the gynae scanned and she said the hands and legs are at the right side, so I will feel the bumps there, I said no wonder I felt so much kicks there.

Thank you! That’s what I suspect as well but the tightening has been in regular interval. I’ll check in with my gynae in the next check up :)

I'm like you too! I feel more towards my left side and I can feel a bump, as though its the baby's hand or foot. like you, it can last for 10s. its even more apparent at night. you are not alone :) and at 34 weeks too
