help should i call the doc

37 weeks I'm not cramping, my stomach is extremely hard, it hurts so bad. It also feels like my baby is way to up high. My belly is aligned with the top ridge of my ribs. My back hurt last night but it's very minmal and almost non existent right now, my boobs are killing me. But I'm mostly concerned about my stomach being all the way to the right.and nothing else and rock hard. Very hard. Is this normal. I don't want to call if it's no big deal

I get this everytime I'm laying down in bed.  The baby likes to push it up high to my ribs cage.  It made it so hard that I couldn't move at all or get off bed so when i need to go pee i had to rub the stomach and the baby releases the pressure.

The pain and hardness is gone, I might be dehydrated I had just woke up but I drink almost a full glass of water after I go to the bathroom, just keeping an eye on myself

Does the hardness go away and comes back? If it does it Braxton hicks. The stomach being high yes it's normal. It's the baby and he picks if he wants to be high, low or on the side.

Are you hydrated? I was told I would have more contractions if I was dehydrated. call if you are worried though. Better safe than sorry
