Hi ladies. I have the oddest thing happen to me. It has happened 2 times 1 two weeks ago and one just last night. When I go down to sleep, I've been trying to get used to sleeping on my side and back instead of my stomach because of the pregnancy. Well last night, when I was laying on my side and in the sleep level where you not fully asleep yet but not aware...I got jarred awake by what felt like my abdomen tightening. It was so weird...kind of like a spasm or contraction. As soon as I woke, it stopped immediately. I dozed off again, it did it again. And a third..it's always as soon as I doze off! Then when I wake, it doesn't do it! Then it's only on my back or side because when I lay on my stomach again it stops!! It happened 2 weeks ago when I was on my back, same exact thing. It's not painful just feels like my abdomen is moving or tightening. Anyone else get this or have an idea what in the world it is??? Thanks!
 
sounds like braxton hicks to me. I've heard they can start early but usually are not felt until later on, but you may just be ultra aware and sensitive and able to feel them.
it's weird that it only happens when you doze off though! if you rarely sleep on your side maybe your muscles are just reacting to the different stretch and contract
