Please answer if you can...

Im 22 weeks tomorrow, ftm here so sorry... Not sure if baby is going thru a growth spurt or if this is something i should be concerned about.
All day today my tummy has 'felt hard' to me, not if someone else where to touch it. From my ribs, down my sides & down around tummy. I did have a little back ache yesterday from falling asleep funny on the couch.
Its not a shooting pain, or a bad pain, just noticeable. No cramps or signs of anything major that would be of concern to call doc asap.
I've tried water and resting. But just curious if anyone could give me any ideas or opinions or suggestions... id greatly appreciate it!! Thank you!!

Another friend told me it could be 'gas buildup'!  She said she would start to feel uncomfy if its been awhile since she went... lol i guess that could it too... oh pregnancy :)

Deff sounds like Braxton hicks contractions which are nothing to worry about. As long as you have no cramping, bleeding, and u still feel the same fetal movement I wouldn't worry! If u are concerned call ur Dr to double check! Good luck

Is it constant or comes and goes? Sounds like it could be braxton  hicks.
