For the past few weeks, once in a while (mostly at the end of a long day and mostly when I'm walking) I feel a little tightening in my lower uterus. Nothing painful at all....just a little tight. Do we think this is Braxton Hicks? I'm 21 weeks.

It could be. Do make sure that you are drinking enough water though, because sometimes that tightening can be a sign of dehydration!

@mamadopt: Good point! I'm pretty good about keeping hydrated. I mostly notice it if I have been running around or on my feet all day. I did notice it when jogging recently so stopped jogging until I could ask my OB about it.

could be? no clue. I get that too.

I've had very frequent BH since early in my 2nd trimester. The whole uterus will feel like it's tightening, not just part of it. And a lot of times, mine would be triggered if I used my core in any way. So, from what you'er describing, they might be.

It could be, I have the same thing and I think thats what it is.
