*Hard bump*

[Nouchka]

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and have started to experience Braxton Hicks in the last week. I've only gained 8kgs so far so I'm quite neat but I've noticed that my bump is getting harder - especially when I wake up in the morning. Is this just due to my baby running out of space in there? Is this normal? Any advice will be received with pleasure !

PS - Still expereincing lots of movement so I'm not worried...

Hello, baby probrably is running out of space in there, but also when you have braxton hicks I think all the muscle in the pelvic area contract which makes it feel hard.
If you open and close your mouth you can feel the same thing happening if you press with your finger.

I'm sure everything is fine but I would speak to the midwife for reassurance.
Good Luck

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought it would be... I'm not concerned because as I said I'm having lots of movement but just wondered what was normal!

Thank you
