Stomach tightness

I'm 34+2 weeks pregnant and for the last couple hours my stomach has been rock hard. It's the whole top part from above my belly button to the top of my uterus and my sides. When you press on it/poke it it doesn't indent at all. It doesn't hurt at all it's just uncomfortable because it feels like my abdomen is full/stretching a lot. Is anyone else having this issue/what could it be? I'm a first time mom so I'm not sure what BH contractions feel like but from what I understand those tend to go away after a minute or so and this has been consistent. It doesn't come and go it just stays.

I've had 3 kids and I had this with my last one. I've no idea why but my belly was just tight, permanently. It felt sore and bloated.
Everything was fine and I still don't know why it did it.

Hey I'm 34+3 and I have the same - it's not too bad first thing in the morning but by the afternoon/evening it's rock hard like a bowling ball and very uncomfortable! I think maybe it's just over a day of eating and drinking lots of water perhaps, again it doesn't hurt just feels like there's no space left at all, plus baby seems to have dropped a lot the past week or so, so maybe fluid and food is just getting stuck at the top of my abdomen and she's now at the bottom so I'm just rock hard all round :)
