Is this normal

First time mum to be. 18 weeks. I'm plus size. Woke this morning and my usual flabby B belly is rock hard and feels very heavy uncomfortable. I initially thought that I was just constipated but have been for 3 bowel movements today. ( sorry tmi) still hard.
Is my body getting ready to pop and have proper pregnancy belly?

Is this normal? Please

I'm 28 weeks and a size 18-20 and my B belly still fluctuates in size/shape/flabbiness! I definitely reached a point at around 18 weeks where I would feel horribly uncomfortable and then look down realise I'd grown since that morning! I still don't have a proper belly but I do look pregnant when I'm clothed...

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions. Very normal and fine.
