Super tight belly

So I'm 34 weeks and my belly has been getting really super tight off an on for a couple of hours now. And when it starts to get tight, its real uncomfortable. Is this normal? Im a little worried...

Sounds like Braxton hicks contractions. Just your body getting ready for labor.

I'm 34+3 and have been feelin this also. It makes it worse when I'm on my feet all day at work because it's constant but once I lay down it eases up.  Perfectly normal it's just your body preparing itself
