They are very strange tummy goes really tight and hard the after a few seconds just dies down. I mainly get them when I make a sharp movement or at work when I've been stood up for a while. They can come at any time though.
I think you would probably know if you've had any although I didn't know what they were at first. But I've read that not everyone gets them. They're not supposed to hurt though but get stronger throughout your pregnancy.

this is my fourth pregnancy and I vaguely remember having them with my first. I am currently 31 + 1 wks and have been getting them for the last week or so. They are really sore!!! Admittedly I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain but these are bad- as someone else has said they tend to go across the top of the bump but I have also been getting them up and down my back and in my legs.
I really don't think I can cope like this for the next 9weeks!!! I just hope MY date is correct rather than the sonographer coz then it would onlty be 7 weeks (with the added bonus that I have previously always been 2 weeks early- heres hoping
