Hard stomach....
Hi...Im 21w6d and has anyone ever had a hard stomach above where the baby is supposed to be growing and a soft baby bump?? My stomach region is really hard and bloated looking but my abdomen where the baby is isn't....is that normal??
That's exactly how mine is!! Lol...this is also my 3rd pregnancy and this one is WAY different then the other 2. Thank you sooo much ladies!! I was starting to wonder a bit....ur responses really helped me!! :) Congrats to both of u ladies on ur babies!!
That's exactly what it is hun....everything is getting pushed up and aside as your uterus grows. I am 25weeks6days with my 3rd baby and this pregnancy and my one last year with my 1 year old is the same way. I have kind of a dip in the middle at my waistline/belly button area. I believe it took until I was about 30-32 weeks for it to fully round out. Doctors werent worried at all. Everybody is built differently and our bodies all handle/show pregnacy differently too :)
Oh okay... I dont have acid reflex but its just all the time. Maybe its all the organs pushed up and together lol. Thank you for your response!!
I have this (I'm 22wks) all the time....mine hardens when my acid reflex acts up and I start to get sick from it! Its like all my muscles above my belly button tense up and makes it hard! My doctor isn't concerned with it either! He said because all the organs are so close together the slightest gas problem will constrict the stomach muscles. You normally get this lower when not pregnant and not as bad because your organs have room to move around when it happens!
I did and he said it wasn't anything to be concerned about but its just weird to me. I guess every pregnancy is different lol. Thank you!! :)
Baby could be up higher....Just exploring and playing...I feel my little one up there every once in a while. :) Pretty sure it's normal, if it concerns you I would ask your doctor, just to make sure :)
