Third trimester mein my belly keeps going rock hard for a few seconds then relaxes. It happens many times a day. Thoda confusing hai, is it the baby or something else? plz tell me if u felt same.
Arey, my mother-in-law always told me that a tight stomach means the baby is growing and taking up space! She used to make me drink warm water to help with the gas. Just ensure you don't have severe cramps, else call the doctor.
During my 2nd trimester, my stomach felt extremely tight, and I immediately called my hospital coordinator. They explained it could be Braxton Hicks or just stretching, but they told me to come in if there was any cramping or pain. Definitely give your gynac a call to be safe.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and scary that tight feeling can be, it makes you feel so heavy. It's usually just your uterus and skin stretching to accommodate your growing baby, but do take plenty of rest.
My tummy used to get very tight in the later months, which my doctor said was normal muscle stretching and sometimes gas. Try changing your position or lying down for a bit, but if it doesn't get better or hurts, please check with your gynac.
I used to feel my stomach getting super tight, especially after meals. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to eat very light, fiber-rich foods, which actually helped reduce that gassy tightness. But if it is painful, please consult your doctor.
