Re: question... i dont know if anyone can answer it....
Are you noticing a pattern to the "tightening" of your belly??
You could be starting with Braxton Hicks
Any cramping? Have you done anythign physically strenuous in the last 24 hours?

I would take a warm shower, get a big bottle of water and lay down with your feet up for a little while and if it doesn't subside/get worse call your OB

if you're noticing a pattern and it's not subsiding, i'd call your doctor. i'd always rather be safe than sorry. s/he may tell you that you have nothing to worry about but i'd rather hear it from a doctor than just wonder what to do.

I had a lot of pressure at night when I was around 20 weeks - like the baby or my belly was going to drop out from underneath me. It was really only at night, and when I mentioned it to my OB, she was like, "duhhh, you're pregnant." If its really bothering you, it can never hurt to make a phone call.

CALL YOUR OB ASAP....could be braxton hicks...but if its not subsiding then it may be early contractions...drink lots and lots of water...I ended up in the hospital for dehydration and a bladder infection which let to early contractions...don't risk it...it may be nothing...but always call if you feel uncomfortable...I hope you feel better soon!
