I've been told by my MIL that when your having contractions your belly tightens up and is hard.. Very hard. Looked coned shaped.. What do you think or have been told?
My belly definitely tightens and is hard (oooh ironically I just got a contraction, haha!) but I don't know about the cone-shaped thing. I feel like that would depend on baby's position?
Mine basically looks like this... I think the shape of your belly just depends on how the baby is positioned. My lo is head down and has his butt on my left side with his feet either up the middle of my belly or on my right side kicking my ribs.
The shape depends on where baby is sitting. I tend to get a bump on each side, one much larger than the other. And it gets super hard. It is my second time around but such an odd sensation, before they get painful at least!!
Re: Contractions. The way your belly looks?
Contractions just make it super hard
