Belly Changes

alm0309

The past few days my stomach feels much harder than usual.  Based on the location of the hiccups, I think he moved slightly.  Now I can take my hand and cup some body part (wish I could figure out which one it is) near my belly button and slightly above it.  I get concerned because my uterus now feels harder than it had leading up to my 29th week.  Since so many of you are further along than me, have you had a similar experience?

mine has been feeling harder as the week has gone on especially as he moves higher up, I get moments of it especially if I am walking my tummy will get quite hard. Not sure if its normal or not but there is no pain and baby still moves around. Perhaps they are mini contractions cos usually I will just get a sense of tightness .

I too wish I could tell what body part was which when I find them but I have no clue he has been head down for a while now but he moves around im never sure so just have to guess.

Mine is definitely harder than it has been. I was just at my OB and everything looked just fine. I wouldn't be worried unless your doctor gives you a reason to. You can always bring this up to him at your next appointment. Ask him if everything is okay and if the hardening is normal. Good luck.

I can also feel exactly where the hiccups are coming from and cup the back of her body. She is head down but resting her body more towards the left with all the feet kicks on the right.

I'm 32 weeks and I think that it was around 29ish weeks when I started feeling like my belly was harder. My belly button feels like rubber now I wouldnt worry unless it starts hurting...BUT if you are concerned then I would definitely talk to my doctor.

It is likely a combination of BH and the baby.

I think part of it is just the baby is running out of room.  I don't feel real kicks anymore just movement becuase there is no room to kick.  I also think that made my stomach feel harder.
