Im in my 5th month and lately my lower belly feels really tight and hard sometimes, then goes soft again. It happens randomly through the day and im not sure if its normal or something i should worry about. Anyone else felt this?
My doctor explained these as Braxton Hicks, the uterus practising. She said they are usually painless and irregular. If they become regular and painful then I should call her, that was her advice.
It hardens as the uterus grows and also with practice contractions later on. Totally normal mostly. But if it stays tight with pain or comes in regular waves before time, ring your gynac.
