tightening

[lyshabob]

Ftm. 32 weeks. When I over work myself, which is pretty easy to do these days, my belly gets very tight. It's not painfuk, just uncomfortable.  Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes! I have heard many other women say the same thing too. Baby needs you to rest too!

Braxton hicks probably.

I'll be 32 weeks on Thurs and its been happening for a few weeks now. When it happens I know its time to take alittle break.

Those are Braxton Hicks contractions. When that happens the only option is to drink plenty of water and lay down, rest for a little bit.

It happens to me all the time.  I am 32 weeks as well, second baby.  In my experience, I think my contractions helped me dilate early.  I was 5cm dilated at 36 weeks.  Went in to labor at 37 weeks.  So if you want to bake your baby alittle longer, rest like everyone else said.  I still worked and hunting big game until I went into labor. I never stopped or rested.
