Hard stomach?

Question

I’m 29 weeks. I’ve noticed lately that at times my stomach will get hard out of nowhere. Sometimes it lasts a couple minutes, sometimes it’s that way for an hour. It’s not painful at all. Sometimes it’s a little uncomfortable but other times I don’t even notice unless I’m up and around or happen to touch my stomach. I was going to google it but I didn’t even know how to describe it. Is this BH or something different? Normal or no?

Answer

Braxton Hicks! My tummy gets that way too. Randomly hard and tight but not painful at all. Just here and there maybe a few time a week. It’s our bodies way of practicing and gearing up for the real thing :) They are completely normal as long as they happen inconsistently. If they become regular i would call your doctor.

Answer

It's Braxton Hicks. It's the uterus preparing for the real thing and happens throughout an entire Pregnancy. It's normal not to feel them this early on other then the hardness. I never really felt the contraction pain with mine until I was in real labor.

Answer

It could also be your baby stretching into a strange position witch causes the feeling of tightness x
