Contractions
I am 31 weeks pregnant. I m feeling slight tightness in uterus for around 30 secs. I went to doctor yesterday for the same. she checked the vagina and said cervix is closed so its not a sign of early labour. Also she said there is no discharge. if cervix is closed then why this tightening is happening? is it normal?
