hard stomach?

I will be 13 weeks this week and I was wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way I am feeling?  My stomach is as hard as a rock most days from the belly button up to my breasts and from the belly button down it is not as hard and some days feels "flabby."  Does anyone know if the hard stomach is normal or not? Should I be concerned or do you think it is just from being bloated or gassy?

I've started experiencing the same thing as of about two days ago. My stomach is so hard between the bottom of my breasts to just below my bellybutton that I can barely bend over to do stuff like pick something off the floor or tie my shoes.
But from the top of my pubic line to about three quarters up before my belly button, my stomach is softer (where the baby is located).

I am not sure if it is normal or not since this is my first....but, I'm in my 11th week and I have the same type of thing.  I am flat from the breast line to my belly button (rib cage area) and then I fluctuate from the belly button down depending on what I ate or drank the day before.  Somedays I am more round and other days I am flabby.
