Contractions?!?!

I'm having tightening but only in certain spots on my belly not all over. But then again I'm not showing yet so not sure the difference.  I haven't been feeling normal all day and idk if it's just baby pushing out or what but I can't feel any baby movements with the tightening or really pain just uncomfortable.

Sounds like it's just braxton hicks contractions where your stomach just gets really tight for about a min then goes away.

Hm. Google where the top of your uterus is at your number of weeks. If you're not showing you're probably under 20wks (just guessing) so your uterus won't be up very high at that point. If you're feeling the tightening much above your belly button for example it's probably something besides contractions. Just my thoughts.
