Tummy firmness - why does it change?

Question

So when I wake up in the morning my tummy is all squishy....  but as the day goes on it becomes harder and hard - eventually its rock hard (mainly around the top half - very bottom is still squishy lol)...
Why is this?!?!

Answer

I read that the ligaments relax as you sleep, so when you wake up, everything is loose and rested. As the day goes on, your ligaments expand to hold your belly which is why it gets bigger and tighter throughout the day.

Answer

I always assumed it was because of babys positioning. I could be wrong but my belly is def smaller first thing and within an hour I'm feeling huge again and that's before eating. Lol

Answer

I actually went in to the clinic when I experienced this in combination with round ligament pain for the first time (boy, what a fun day that was!). I could very clearly see my uterus, and was a little freaked out. The doctor said that it’s largely due to food, gas, urine, etc. anything making less room for baby. That and he just said “well, your baby is just getting bigger!” 🤷🏼‍♀️ haha all I knew was that it was uncomfortable. But I did some yoga poses to relieve some gas and get things flowing and it helped.

Answer

I feel the same at night after all day eating.
