Contractions Vs Baby Stretching

Yesterday I had my doctor appointment. I told her, every time my soon stretch my stomach get tight and i seem to lose my breath and my heartbeat really fast. She assured me it was not my baby, that it's contractions. How could this be when i clearly she my son body shape when this take place. Btw I'm 37 weeks today and ftm. What do you ladies think?

This is confusing for me also!
My stomach gets super tight sometimes and it'll make my back hurt making me think is this an contraction? Or is this my baby stretching? I worried about not being able to know with my 2nd baby. My doctor says it's not contractions cause I was on the monitor for 20 min and they couldn't see anything but of course once we leave the office I get the tightening feeling so I don't know.

I was not able to fell any contractions, but is it possible that your baby is moving because of the contractions?
