Sometimes my pet feels really hard and tight for a few mins then becomes normal again. Im around 24 weeks and not sure if this is the baby or something else. Is this normal na? when did urs start getting hard?
Mild tightening is normal, but if you have to go to the emergency room for severe cramps, the hospital charges are huge. Better to keep track of the hardness and ask your doctor during your regular scheduled scans to save on extra visits.
My baby is just 2 months old, and I remember my stomach getting super hard in my 3rd trimester due to Braxton Hicks. It's just practice contractions, but call your doctor if they become regular or painful.
I remember feeling my belly tighten and get rock hard, especially in the 8th month. It's such an emotional feeling realizing how big the baby is growing in there, just rest when it happens.
It usually starts happening around the second or third trimester as your uterus grows and tightens. If the hardness comes with severe pain or is continuous, don't wait and just contact your gynac.
Don't worry dear, it is mostly due to gas or mild contractions called Braxton Hicks in the later months. Just sit down, drink a glass of warm water, and see if it softens up.
I had a lot of belly tightness in my last month, which I later realized were mild contractions before my planned C-section. Make sure to rest a lot and don't lift heavy things when your stomach feels hard.
