Tightening/Braxton Hicks

Currently 20 weeks pregnant. I keep having this tightening feeling in my belly or what is called braxton hicks a few times a day. Comes a few secs then goes away. Baby is moving well inside. It's not painful but an uncomfortable feeling. Not sure if this is normal or not? I Googled and apparently it's normal since this is not my first pregnancy. Of course, I have never felt this before with my other pregnancies unless I'm in the 3rd trimester and nearing to labour. Anyone feel this currently or have felt this many times in a day before?

20 weeks would be too early to have braxton hicks I believe. Could it be just baby movements or maybe you're having cramps? But if you're not sure and it keeps happening everyday, best to check with your gynae.

braxton hicks are normal during third trimester
