how hard is your belly?

i always thought that pregnancy would finally give me firm abs for once in my life (granted, not due to muscle), but my belly is still pretty squishy even though i'm 24 weeks along.  it still feels pretty marshmellowy and i think this is why i feel insecure about when people touch my belly.  i'm average weight but typically hold all my weight in my belly.

    mine is squishy as well, and i'm 25 weeks. I have always been a bit overweight.

    I too get really uncomfortable when people try to touch my bump... i will say it defnitly has become more defined in the last 2 weeks.

    This seems to change a lot for me. There are times I'm as hard as a rock then there are other times I feel like my fat roll is back. I'm like you, fairly average but hold some extra pounds in my tummy area.

    If you feel insecure don't let people touch you. lol. I think this is one of the creepiest parts of pregnancy!

    When I sit down it's more squishy, but when I'm standing it's pretty hard! Albeit with a nice layer of cushion on top of it :).

     This exactly. Mine's as hard as a basketball when standing.

    I'm 25 weeks and ,ine is definitely softer when I am sitting and firmer when I am standing.  It's especially firm right above my belly button Smile

    I think that my belly is mostly hard. In the morning is like super rock hard but once I am up and moving after about an hour it goes to just hard/firm.

    People always tell me that mine is hard, but they are only touching it when I'm standing. I still have the squishy going too. It will get hard soon enough for all of us.

    It varies.  It's usually pretty hard in the morning.  Some days, baby is sitting lower and it gets squishy.

    So far my stomach is firm and sometimes it's a lot harder than others. My stomach is definitely not taut yet though. There is a nice layer of thick skin on there. It's not flubby, but there is a centimeter or so of skin between the firmness even by my belly button.

    My belly is pretty firm, but I was in very good shape before getting pregnant so I'm sure that has something to do with it.  DH made me laugh over the weekend because he was rubbing my stomach and said that he always thought it would be really squishy, like a jello mold lol.

    When I sit down it is pretty squishy but when I stand it is pretty firm but with a little extra cushion on top, I was a little overweight before pregnancy and had an extra inch or so on my belly.  Some days it feels really hard and especially after eating a big meal.
