What's this feeling??

[Dee83]

When i exercise by tummy goes really tight and uncomfortable. Does anyone else get this and does anyone know why it happens?

Thanks girls xxx

It could be Braxton Hicks. You apparently get them all the way through your pregnancy but to start with they aren't strong enough to feel but by now you may start to feel them

Thanks for your reply Nik. I wasn't sure what Braxton Hicks were so i've just googled it! The way it's described online may be a bit different from what i am feeling. Mine seems to feel constantly tight for hours but they seem to be describing BH as only lasting for a couple of minutes at a time. xxx

It could be where the baby sits then? Mine pushes out a LOT and that areas quite tight

I get this everyday and it can last from 20 mins to over an hour my midwife says it is BHs - makes my bump look huge too

It sounds like the same feeling i'm getting hun, with it lasting a while - it lasted most of today for me! Nice to be able to put a name to the feeling. Seeing my midwife on Tuesday so will check with her too. Thanks for your reply xxx

Yeah sounds like BH hun. I had no idea what they were but when I described a tightening sensation to the girls on pregnancy forum, they said it's BH I had to google it too!
