Hard belly??

Question

So I am 27 weeks and sometimes my belly feels really hard and sometimes it feels really soft. I was just walking around a bit ago and it was super hard. Now I’m laying down and it is super soft. Is this normal?!! This happens frequently throughout the day. I remember my doctor telling me to come in if I had a board like abdomen. Sorry first time mom and super paranoid about everything! Just want a happy healthy baby!

Answer

It's probably just the baby's position. When you lay down he/she "falls" to the back of your belly, so it's soft. When you stand he/she might gravitate towards the front.

Answer

does it feel like your whole tummy 'contracts' or gets hard? then goes away in about a min? that's Braxton Hicks...OR could be irritated uterus.

Answer

Sounds like Braxton hicks to me. I get it often also and this is my third pregnancy. My stomach feels hard as a rock and more so if I'm walking around and getting exercise throughout the day.

Answer

This happens to me too!

Answer

It’s just the baby moving everymorning my stomach is extremely hard but that’s how I can tell which part she is at during the day or if I’m moving a lot my stomach will go soft
