How does your bump feel?

Weird question, but what is your bump supposed to feel like by 27 weeks? For the past week or so it feels as though my bump has been constantly firm. I’ve had a few (I assume) braxton hicks tightenings, but other than that my bump feels heavy, often firm when moving. Midwife didn’t seem to be concerned, but noted that my bump was firm to touch!

I am 27 weeks today and feel the same. Constant tight feeling and so much low down pressure! Feel like I am constantly bursting for a wee yet dont need to go.

Im 27 weeks tomorrow and in the morning my stomach feels all soft but come mid to late afternoon and it goes really tight, and I get alot of low pressure which makes me feel like I need to pee constantly and only a trickle comes out. I explained all this to my midwife and she said it's all normal and especially because my little monkey is very low.

Think it depends on babies position, im 30 weeks and baby is head down with its back to my stomach but very much favours one side of my stomach so the side LO is on is firm and the other side is softer, however when I touch my bump baby tends to move and sometimes it will go softer and I'll get a few kicks or sometimes it pushes back harder.

Also on this usually when I stand up bump is much firmer than when sitting or laying.

Pelvic floor therapist while pregnant

At night I get such bad pelvic pain and my doctor said it’s normal because baby is getting heavy and bigger. I’m 28 weeks 2 days. Did do anyone pelvic floor therapy for that reason? I just hope my medical covers it.
