21 weeks and tight stomach, braxton hicks maybe?

Myr stomach since last week gets tight from time to time, no pain no nothing, could it be Braxton hicks or maybe cuz im too full from eating? Just feels weird and it's my whole belly that gets tight, doesnt last long tho, i haven't timed it or anything cuz sometimes i won't realize it until i get up from a sitting position

I was the same, with my first I didn't feel them until 32wks. Not sure if they started earlier this time or I'm just more aware of it! But my dr was very reassuring that its not a sign I'll go into premature labour.

Sounds like BH. I've been getting them from 18wks this pregnancy but my dr said some women can feel them from 12wks. If they get regular or painful let your dr know.
