Baby bump

I'm 17 weeks and I have a visible bump but it's not hard as I was expecting? It's round and looks like a baby bump and it's firm/hard on the sides but the "roundness" at the front is still spongey? I've never had a flat tummy, but I've never been this big and round! Is it a combination of both? I don't feel at all bloated so it's not that I'm very confused!

It's not abnormal :) your tummy hardens when you contract and also when baby is near the front but I'm 38 weeks and still have times when it's a little spongy because LO has moved a little.

The bigger baby gets, the firmer it will feel but it won't be rock hard all the time Smile
