If you experience some tightening lower than your tummy you might have a bladder infection. Just let it check for sure.

I have had maybe 3 and I am 29 weeks with my second. As long as you're not getting regular contractions you're just fine. Everyone is different

Is it supposed to feel like a sharp squeezing? I know pains are normal from ligaments but that's not what this is. Ill be sitting completely still and down in that personal area I'll suddenly get this pain interacting like I'm being squeezed just being where I normally feel him kick, it lasts about ten to fifteen second and then stops and it only happens once at a time not repeatedly...
