Hard belly

Hi there!

So I know that later towards the tail end of the pregnancy your belly is supposed to get very hard to the touch...

Weird thing tho mine has been this was for ages! I’m 23 weeks and the hardness was originally just completely around my belly button but now it’s my whole stomach from just above my waist all the way to just under my boobs. Is this normal at this stage? It’s hard as a rock. I do appear to be carrying high though as the bigger I get the more my top stomach fills out under my boobs.

Just figured I’d ask for some feedback from other mommies to be.
