Yeah, my chest also tightens, and I get a sort of hard to breath feeling and then my stomach cramps up! I'm not worried about it unless the braxton hicks become closer together!

I haven't asked about it just because it didn't really concern me I just figured it was strong Braxton hicks

Yeah I think it's pretty normal

@kellynicole, have you asked your doc about it? I don't go until next week

@kellynicole, I feel mine start in the chest too almost like nervous/sinking/tight feeling then my stomach will get rock hard

I feel it coming in my chest and then it goes away when the contraction actually starts.. Just feels tight/tingly in my chest. Then my whole stomach tightens and sometimes it hurts to even breathe

@kellynicole, is this normal?? This is my first pregnancy. What do yours feel like

Yes
