Whenever I get up and am on my feet, out shopping, walking around etc my tummy gets really really tight, no pain. Been having this for a few weeks is this normal?
 
Is it sore? Mine goes really solid and hurts like mad at the bottom - I'm assuming it's gravity pulling the weight of the babies down?! I've had it for about 10 weeks or so now and is the reason I can't walk very far!

No never any pain just feels really tight and pressurised anytime i'm on my feet.
 
I've had this - I think it's your muscles tightening to help keep the weight of your bump up right! If that makes sense! I'm 34 weeks now and my tummy is constantly tight xx
 
I sometimes think the babies turn and push their backs out when walking. I'm sure I read somewhere that they do that if they think they're going to come to harm e.g. something banging into bump? I could be imagining that though :lol: it could be braxton hicks too?? I didn't even know what they were like until last week and realised I've been having them for ages - remember that uncomfortable feeling I asked if you had where it feels like the babies are pushing their bums out? Turns out that's braxton hicks :lol:

Oh I know when my babies are doing that which is often, I normally have an odd shape sticking up more than the rest of my stomach around where I'm getting kicked, which I assume is a wee back or something pushing up.

I often wonder if it's BH but never any pain and only when I'm walking about anywhere, who knows.
