My tummy becomes tight and hard sometimes, especially after walking or eating. It relaxes after some time but the feeling scares me. I am 26 weeks, anyone else feeling this tightening?
Haan ye bilkul normal hai, jaise jaise baby bada hota hai pet thoda hard lagta hai na. Gas se bhi aisa hota hai sometimes. Bas agar continuous dard ho to doc ko bata dena, warna tension mat lo.
Doc explained to me that as the baby and uterus grow, the belly naturally feels firmer, and from second trimester you get Braxton Hicks contractions that make it tighten for a bit then relax. The thing to watch is if it becomes painful, rhythmic or comes with bleeding, then get checked immediately.
Stomach goes hard mostly as the uterus grows and as baby gets bigger, totally normal. Later it can be Braxton Hicks, those practice tightenings that come and go. If it stays hard with pain or its regular and frequent, then call your doctor.
Mine feels hard sometimes too and I got a little scared. My gynac said its the growing uterus and gas can also make it feel tight. Did anyone else feel like a hard ball after eating? It comes and goes for me.
