  That sounds like Braxton hicks. My stomach gets really hard. 20 mins is a long time though, and I'm also a FTM so I'm not sure about that part.

  I talked to my Ob Gyn about this exact thing and she said its normal. Unless the pain stays it's nothing to worry about. Just what I've been told so if your worried Id definitely ask!

  Today I was working and had to run around a bit. Then out of no where my stomach got rock hard and was hurting so bad. It lasted about 20 minutes without easing up. I'm 31 weeks. Is this a normal thing? Did the running around a bit cause it? Sorry just a first time mommy here. And it's gotten hard before and hurt a tad but it was only for like two minutes or so each time before

  The "hurting so bad" part is tough to discern woman to woman, but I'd say if you are feeling fine now, it must have just been from being on your feet and active more than usual. I'd keep an eye on the pain and frequency if it happens again, and then to be safe, call your health care provider for insight to ensure you and LO stay healthy!

  That happened to me when I was working around my house. Could be your body just telling you to slow down and relax a bit.

  It happens to me if I'm busy too. Make sure to up the water intake it can cause it as well being dehydrated.

  I also notice this when I'm doing something physically demanding. I usually take it as a sign to take a break. I think it is pretty normal, but I would ask your OB.
