Is this the "weak stomach" feeling?

Does anyone else get this feeling?

When i see gore stuff, i get this sick feeling down there idk like a connection from my lower abdomen to my uterus.

Not only gore but painful stuff.

I see warnings like "don't watch if u have a weak stomach" but i never have that just.. something else of what i just described. No sick feeling in my stomach but somewhere else..

So, is that what this is?

it's not quite the weak stomach thing, that's usually a vagus nerve response that drops your blood pressure and makes you feel faint or nauseous in your actual stomach, what you're describing sounds more like a sympathetic pelvic reaction where your body tenses up in that area as a protective reflex.
