Hard bump

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and have a lovely neat bump but have noticed it is rock solid! Is this where baby is just laying? My partner thinks it’s braxton hicks but I’m not sure what other symptoms include that

I'm 33 weeks and have the same. Neat bump and it's rock hard.
I think its braxton hicks too. Its normal anyway. It happened with my 2 previous children too x

Braxton Hicks come and go so if it’s gets harder and takes your breath slightly that’s Braxton hicks. If it’s hard all the time but then baby moves a little. It’s likely to be their head/bum/back etc and it’s making tummy hard because of their position! Xx

Yep!! I love it when it happens 🤣 it’s funny. I know it’s cos our bodies are preparing for birth 😍

It’ll feel rock hard to you, but if a midwife was to feel you, you’d actually have a soft bump. Braxton hicks is contraction of the uterus to prepare your body for labour. This wouldn’t be a continuous rock hard feeling. I have been suffering with some severe braxton hicks that I’ve had to go and be monitored for pre term labour, and given pain relief. Xx

I’m 33 weeks and I’m the same super neat solid bump but with my girls I had a more spread out soft bump if that makes sense 🤣
