stomach tightening?
I've never experienced any BH with my first or this pregnancy so I don't know if this is BH or not. I've been on my birthing ball and while doing so, my stomach feels like it tightens up for a minute or so and then releases. (I had back labor with my son so I also dont know what stomach contractions feel like ?) anyways, has anyone else experienced this? What is it exactly? It's happening every 10 minutes I would say and it's not painful at all.

I'd say it's braxton hicks. Just the strangest feeling when it happens. X

Yes, sounds like Braxton Hicks. I actually had pain with mine, but most people experience that tightening and release alone. It kinda feels like you’re doing a crunch lol.

Yeah I've never had them before so I have no idea lol.

Sounds like Braxton hicks. Since you are only 36 weeks Them being 10mins apart I would get off the birthing ball and go relax so that they calm down.

@pp can they progress into real labor?

I agree with @mrsdr I’d sit down and relax. And make sure you’re hydrated enough. They happen more frequently when you aren’t drinking enough water.
I started getting them with my first around 20 weeks and then with this one around 14/15 weeks. I can’t stand them I find them incredibly uncomfortable ?
