Hi ladies I'm currently 24 weeks and this morning I'm lying in bed feeling baby kick a lot (he doesn't like it when I'm on my side)
I sat up for a bit and lay back down and my lower bump went all hard, could this be braxton hicks? I didn't feel any tightening, in fact I didn't feel anything until I put my hand on my bump and noticed how hard it was.. I also get this after the big O !

That sounds like braxton hicks yep! They're not painful, just your bump going all hard can be a little uncomfortable sometimes. Usually will ease up in about 30 - 60 seconds.
