Ok I'm 23w2d and I think I'm having them my stomach keeps tightening and releasing throughout the day...When should I really start to worry?

I never had them but friends of mine started having them half way through their second trimester and described them as a rhythmic tightening and releasing.  Uncomfortable but not super painful like a contraction.  But Pamela is right , they can happen at any time (sorry, think I just repeated most of her post.  :>)  good post Pamela!)

They can start at 6weeks but you wont feel them until about 15weeks:) and it feels like a tightening in your belly and pressure. My belly gets super hard it doesnt hurt too much just uncomfortable.
