Rock hard belly

Anyone have a rock hard  belly that lasts hours?  No cramps, I can still feel the baby roll around and jab.  I am a tad constipated but other than that.  Is this normal?  I have a Dr. appt tomorrow but just curious.

  • Probably baby's position? If they roll forward, up or out, the part of the uterus you can feel will be more stretched out and feel harder than usual.

  • I get this all the time, so much that I forget it happens.  Last night when I got home and gave my hubby a kiss hello he stepped back with eyes bigger than I have ever seen on him and said "What's wrong, are you okay, why is your tummy so hard".  (all three questions in about a half a second)

    I kinda chuckled and felt my stomach and said....oh it is AGAIN!  It actually stayed that way until I went to bed and she finally re-adjusted herself and I had a little more room. :)

  • I've been this way since after lunch today.  It's even hard to bent over.  Thought it was b/c I was full but hours later still the same.  I guess it's normal.

  • This happens to me a lot. By the time it's gone I feel like I have just done an intense ab workout.
  • I ended up calling my doctor and he thinks my stomach muscles might be strained from coughing.  I have a terrible cold that hurts when I cough.  He said as long as I can feel the baby move, my water hasn't broken and no bleeding I should be ok but if I was still worried I could go into the hospital.  I can feel the little one move so I won't go in.

    Thank you for the replies.
