tightening stomach

Hey just out of curiosity why might be causing the tightening stomach pains I'm feeling in the mid rib cage area? Im currently 23 weeks and have never felt this before now.

Braxton hicks usually shouldn't be painful just maybe a little uncomfortable due to the tightness.

Sweet. Thanks ladies! I've been gently pressing down on my stomach to relieve the pain. Is that OK to do?
