My doctor told me that its normal, its just means your getting closer and its your body getting ready.
Sounds like a combination of braxton hicks and baby pressing up against your uterine wall.
My gyn said it is some form of practice contractions. My belly has been in a perma hard state past few days. We're getting closer... the 'getting closer' and 'any moment now's seem to take up some time for many tho lol
Been having that since 30 weeks or less.. Super hard like a rock.
Same thing is happening to me. And I have pains in top part of tummy.. Its normal for it to stay this way for 20 min or more??
Yes, normal. As i said, my belly is permanently hard atm... The pain i don't know, if i have some pain it is usually in the lower regions for me. But your muscles are tightened and cramped, i guess that can be a bit painful anywhere.
Question tho: anyone else's skin numb around your bellybutton? I don't feel it when my run my fingers over my skin around there.
My belly feels sore all over but no numbness. Getting more and more uncomfortable :/ 38+4
@liske I've been numb too. Seems normal.
