What youre describing sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions, and honestly a few of us went through the same thing around that time, it can be scary lah, especially first time mom! Since your doctor already checked and babys doing fine, thats good news, but those tightening feelings with the back pain are worth mentioning again at your next checkup just to be on the safe side, especially if the pattern changes or they become more regular and painful. Your friend might have experienced something similar before her early delivery, but everyones different, some people get strong BH and go full term, others dont feel much, so its hard to predict, but do keep close watch and dont hesitate to pop into the clinic if anything feels more intense or different, okay?
