Kinda feel like gas in your tummy I know i'm only 19 weeks but it feels like gas but kinda different like my tummy squeezes for a few seconds and then goes back to normal, it doesnt hurt its just a different feeling I guess.

I think your cramping. That happened to me. I would be sitting and id get up and it would be tight and kinda hurting and I was like oww! But its the stomach streching. I dont know what they feel like though lol. I dont know if you can get them that early. All I have is some back pain. Like I need to crack my back or something
