Bump has shrunk and gone hard - 39 weeks

Hi, has anyone else experienced this? My bump seems to have shrunk - could be the baby dropping or moving position I guess - and feels quite hard/rigid. I wasn't getting any noticeable movement for a while so just drunk a big glass of juice and lay down and have had a few little wiggles now (earlier this morning I had some really big, quite painful movements so think little one is ok).

I'm pretty certain I've still got my waters but it almost feels like they've reduced - I can "feel" more of the baby now if you see what I mean...

Tried to phone the midwife but they're closed until 1.30...

Call the midwife at 1.30 and insist on coming in and being checked out - it's probably completely normal but just not worth taking any risks at this stage.
