What u are feeling is braxton Hicks contractions which usually begin around 20weeks. Its a strong tightening of the uterine muscles. But that don’t mean that you are in labour. Braxton Hicks at 20 weeks or more can signify that your body is preparing u for labour. So its normal, but if it becomes regular and painful, u should be concerned and see ur doc.
