I was having the same issue I told my doctor she said it happens when you get dehydrated to drink more water. Also can be the pre cramping before the reall contractions your body is just getting ready for the really deal but your not too far along I'd say just try to drink more water :)

I can understand I'm feeling it right now too lol you will get use to it as you go further up in pregnancy. It is awkward feeling like that but hey that's just the joys of pregnancy lol.

It's normal hun. .. you'll always feel tightness here and there due to growth of your baby..... but if it gets too painful or you notice your bleeding etc then call your doctor. Hope this was helpful
