Off and on my belly goes really hard and tight for some seconds and then becomes soft again. Im in my 7th month. It doesnt pain much but it freaks me out a little. Is this normal or should i mention it to my doctor?
Mine goes tight randomly and it freaks me out a little. Is this the practice contraction thing you all mention? It doesnt hurt, just feels hard for a bit, did others feel same na?
Tightening is usually the uterus muscles, often Braxton Hicks practice contractions especially later on. It's normal and comes and goes, sometimes from gas or the baby moving too. But if it gets regular and painful, get it checked.
Occasional tightening is normal, but if it becomes regular, painful or early in pregnancy, please call your doctor. I had tightening that turned out to need monitoring. Better safe, dont brush off frequent ones.
