I am 25 weeks, and recently I have started feeling this tightening at the TOP of my stomach up near the diaphram muscle. It gets a numb senstation that spreads a little bit, then goes away. I would think BH, since my tummy gets hard, but don`t they usually happen much lower? Or could this feeling be my baby sticking his foot up there and stretching? It`s a wierd feeling!

I still wonder whether some of the time it's not contactions. I know I didn't answer your question, just wanted to let you know that I'm with you.
