Question for the moms

I have kind of an odd question for you ladies, every time I'm pregnant I get this hard hump from my belly button up to a few in. bellow my breasts that will raise up if I lean up from laying. Does anyone know what causes that I've had 3 kids and never had it happen unless I'm pregnant, I had my tubes tied 5 months ago and yesterday I noticed that it's happening again and it had gone away a few weeks after my last babies birth.

By the way, it isn't painful at all so many don't even realize it happened.

The abdominal muscles meet in the center front like a vertical zipper. It is very common in pregnancy for them to "un-zip." They should zip up again after delivery with some exercise. I had it with both babies.
