is this normal?

I'm 38 wks today and my belly gets really hard a lot through out the day I get back pain as well sometimes but sometimes I don't ....I know I can't be in labor because when I do feel pain its not constant and its not that painful or come closer together....maybe just BH but idk about why my belly will be hard almost all day....

At birthing class they taught us that when your belly becomes harder it means your body is preparing for birth also when you walk if your pains become worse they are no longer bh but contractions which doesn't mean you have to rush to the hospital but your staying to dilate

Yeah i didn't know BH  can make your belly hard lol thanks just really wish something was happening I'm so ready for her to be born

BH make your belly hard becuz your muscles are contracting alot of ppl dont notice it till later on in pregnancy i have been noticing it since about 26 weeks and im 35 on thursday
