I'm 24 weeks pregnant and when i walk a lot my stomach gets really tight..is this ok?

Yes: Exercise can cause mild uterine contractions and that can cause the abdominal muscles to feel tightened. Be sure you are drinking plenty of water because dehydration can also cause problems. If the tightness becomes painful or does not go away, you should seek care.
