sometimes my belly suddenly goes very tight and hard for a while then becomes soft again. im 28 weeks. not painful really but it does feel strange. is this normal or something i should mention to my doc?
By third trimester my belly would go rock hard randomly and I'd just stand there like a statue till it passed haha. Doc said it's those practice contractions. Tiring but normal, just rest when it happens.
Mine hardened with cramping and my doctor wanted to see me, so I'd never ignore it if there's pain. Occasional tightening can be fine but pattern or painful ones need a call. Better safe na.
As baby grows the uterus gets firm and sometimes practice contractions make the belly tighten. It is normal occasionally. But if it hardens often with pain or way before due date, ring your gynac.
