Tightening tummy
I feel that my tummy is tightening from time to time, are these contractions?
You are more likely to experience this type of contraction if you have had a lot to do at work, moved around a great deal, exercised or had sex. If you rest, you will feel that they subside.
Contractions are not dangerous to the baby, but listen to your body and stop if the contractions are becoming troublesome.
