Im around 6 months now and sometimes my pet suddenly feels really tight and hard for a while, then goes back to normal. It feels strange na. Is this normal or something to ask doc about?
It usually happens due to gas or Braxton Hicks contractions. When this happened, I just drank warm water. It saved me a lot of money on unnecessary hospital emergency visits since it's mostly normal.
A hardening stomach can be due to Braxton Hicks, which are practice contractions, or simple indigestion. However, if the hardening is accompanied by persistent pain or bleeding, please contact your doctor immediately.
Wow, I didn't know the stomach actually gets hard during pregnancy, that sounds both scary and fascinating! I'm planning my pregnancy now, so reading these experiences is so helpful for me to prepare.
Oh, I remember this feeling so well, it used to scare me every time my belly went tight! It's just your uterus stretching and practicing for delivery. Your body is doing amazing work, mama.
Whenever my stomach got hard, my saas used to make me lie down on my left side and drink a glass of warm milk. It's usually just gas or stretching, but if it doesn't ease up, let your gynac know.
