so is it "normal" to get I suppose moderatly painful tightenings at just under 18 weeks ??

I forget if I had them with Jack this early

other things that may be causing it and if ya think so let me know

I am slightly TMI ALERT constipated did manage to go before been about 5 days so wondering if it is gas pains I dont know I am home alone tonight and feeling a little freaked out
