tightness on upper abdomen

I'm 33 weeks and 3 days and having uncomfortable tightness that comes and goes. Its been happening all day. Baby is not moving as much... should I be concerned and call the doctor? Has anyone had this happen? Are they Braxton hicks or actual contractions? Could it be a foot in the ribcage?

Sounds like braxton hicks contractions.. if baby isn't moving like normal maybe you should call the doctor.. if your gut is telling you something maybe wrong listen to it
