Soft belly

I'm 37 weeks today and noticed a few weeks ago that the lower part of my belly got super soft and above my belly button is hard as a rock. Has anyone else noticed this, and is it normal?

Yep, it just depends on where the baby is sitting

Yep I use to push a bit on the hard spots and baby would push back lol sometimes I could feel if it was a foot or something šŸ¦¶šŸ»

Yep, my son used to stick his ass out right below my rib cage... I'd have to push it back in a little 🤣 it was so hard the Dr was sure it was his head and that baby had decided to turn breach at 37 weeks. I went for an ultrasound to confirm he was just long and cramped 🤣

That was me and he was breech. Ask your ob-gyn to check and confirm with ultrasound

I’m 38 +3 and baby boy shifts so frequently (pivoting on his head according to my midwife) that I’ll have random soft spots and random hard spots. To me, it sounds like your babe has shifted up a little - nothing to be worried about, my boy has spent most of his time in there lodged into my ribcage, he’s only recently moved out of there… for the most part.

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭
