Bump gets hard sometimes, is this normal


Hi all

I find that at some points during the day and particularly at night my bump gets really solid and feels quite hard to the touch....is this normal and whats the explanation for this if it is!

Thanks!

Braxton hicks!!!!!
(practice contractions)

I get them all day every day.. sometimes mostly when I am active. Usually 4-10 times throughout the day. I can just get up of the sofa and I get one!

oooh thanks for that, have heard of Braxton Hicks but thought they would be different from what I have experienced so never put the two together!
Silly me.

I think this happens without BH too as my bump is, and was the same with my first, always quite hard at night compared to in the day.

Either baby moving and in an akward position pressing against you or like everyone else says Braxton Hicks You'd know the difference though - but they the only two times ive noticed my bump extremly hard - Baby moving / BH
