tightening and pressure

I am 34 weeks and 3 days. A part of me feels like she is just moving but on the other hand I'm unsure what to expect ( I'm a 1st time mom ) but any who. My stomach has been getting tight and it is very uncomfortable also been feeling some pressure in my no no square. Normally I feel it when she is moving but now its a little more consistent.my question is, is this normal?

Research Braxton Hicks contractions and see if what you research is what you are describing. It's your uterus "practicing" for birth

Probably experiencing Braxton Hicks and yes very normal especially in third trimester! Consider them a sign of your body practicing for labor! Practice breathing now and it will help when labor comes as it will get more intense with really contractions!!!
