I just hit the 26 week mark and as I was laying down I felt this sudden sharp pain which lasted less than 30 seconds and after that my stomach felt a bit hard. Braxton Hicks? Ftm.
Probably a mix of BH and ligament pain. I've never had BH feel sharp but round ligament pain definitely feels sharp. The tightening sounds like BH. Totally normal.
Hi! This community operates differently than most forums. We're here to build a support group.

Sudden sharp short lasting pain in abdomen with movement sounds like round ligament pain. If it was more in your crotch, likely more pelvic girdle pain from pelvis shifting around.
Tightening in your stomach is probably Braxton Hicks.
