So; this is my third pregnancy and I’m only 18 weeks as of today. I swear that I can feel my stomach tighten sometimes like I’m have slight Braxton Hicks, but I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s worth concern. Just interested to hear if other mamas have maybe felt the same thing.

Yeah common much sooner with each child. I’m on my 3rd pregnancy atm and felt them very early on where as my first I never had them.
Yes definitely! After multiple pregnancies I get the Braxton hicks as early as 12 weeks
I usually get them starting at 12 weeks
It can be due to dehydration or over exertion. Try drinking water and relaxing on your left side for an hour to see if it calms down. If not, contact your doctor to rule out any serious concerns.

Its possible. Your womb has been contracting on and off since about 6 weeks without you realizing it. These are usually more common toward the end of pregnancy.
Are you hydrated? I was getting cramps due to not drinking enough water everyday. I upped my water intake and they are gone and I’m 17 weeks!
My Ob said to drink 8oz of water every hour you are awake
