Rock Hard Belly?

Question

So I’m 37 + 5  and FTM and I’ve noticed that my belly has been super tight all day long today. I think I’m also losing bits of my mucous plug. All this past weekend I’ve had lightening crotch and Braxton Hicks. Please tell me Labor is near?! I can’t take the constant pain anymore. I’ve never been through this before so I’m confused on what real and what’s not real labor.

Answer

Perfectly normal and means that your body is getting ready but unfortunately not a sign that labour is soon. You could try having a bath or shower to relieve some of the pain. I also find that getting into sort of “child’s pose” - knees under you, head down, bum up - takes the pressure off my pelvis

Answer

Ugh. I've been having that rock hard tummy for weeks! Sorry, but it doesn't mean labor is near.
